The star, who played finance-obsessed father Ashwin on The Kumars at No. 42, has joined the Channel 4 soap as the menacing Big Bob.

Big Bob will cause trouble for resident criminals Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) and Grace Black (Tamara Wall), after Trevor met Big Bob while in prison.

Big Bob helped out Trevor by protecting fellow inmate John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) following John Paul's attack on Robbie Roscoe (Charlie Wernham), and now Big Bob wants a favour from Trevor.

Ebrahim has also previously appeared in Ideal, The Old Guys and Meet the Magoons.

He will make his first appearance as Big Bob in August.

New Hollyoaks pictures show the moment that the soap's latest villain Big Bob makes his first appearance in the village.

Earlier this month, show chiefs announced the casting of The Kumars actor Vincent Ebrahim as the corrupt character, who recently spent time in prison with resident gangster Trevor Royle.

As Big Bob helped Trevor (Greg Wood) out during his time behind bars, he now wants a favour in return and will stop at nothing to get it.

The newcomer's arrival in the village comes just when things are finally looking up for Trevor and his on-off partner Grace Black (Tamara Wall).

After Trevor encourages Grace to speak to the doctor about their chances of conceiving, she surprises him by revealing that she has made an IVF appointment.

The pair are excitedly looking to the future and may even be ready to turn their backs on the criminal world, but everything changes when Big Bob suddenly turns up to get what he is owed…
