Lee Ryan, who rose to fame in boy band Blue, has just been announced as the latest addition to the EastEnders family.

The news was announced on the show's official Twitter account and unsurprisingly, there was a major reaction. https://twitter.com/bbceastenders/status/832122354566385665 Have a look at what people had to say about the decision to cast the man behind such classics as 'One Love' and 'All Rise' as new character 'Woody', and it wasn't all good. https://twitter.com/CarolineJS75/status/832170296681562112 https://twitter.com/JoT134/status/832145265482149890 https://twitter.com/Raegan_Jane/status/832206055174242306 https://twitter.com/Margaretcre/status/832219921098665985 Speaking about his latest endeavour, Ryan said:

"I am so excited to be part of the show. Woody is the best role I could have wished to play. "He’s a brilliant character, and it’s clear he’s been leading a full and colourful life. I can’t wait for people to see what he’s like for themselves. "Everyone at EastEnders has been so welcoming. I know some of the cast already so I’m sure we’re going to have a lot of fun."

Woody will arrive on the soap soon and there's no doubt that he will cause havoc...
