EastEnders newcomer Jazzy Phoenix has made her debut playing the mysterious role of Nadine, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the late Lola Pearce-Brown (Danielle Harold).
Jazzy who has been a professional actress for the past five years, made her first appearance on the hit BBC soap on Monday, 18 September when Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) returned to Albert Square after a night of insomnia and believed he saw his late wife Lola from across the square.
We followed the devastating storyline of Lola who died in June this year after losing her fight with aggressive brain cancer, with her husband Jay seeming to struggle with her death since.
But in a turn of events his spirits seemed to be lifted as he was introduced to newcomer Nadine and the pair seemingly hit it off, it later emerged that she is also an escort, something she had turned to in order to help fund her university education.
The Albert Square newbie attempted to seduce Jamie after they went out for a drink together, only for him to politely decline before agreeing to sleep together following a surprising business offer.
As we watch the storyline unfold, we take a closer look at Jazzy's like off screen, from her move from New Zealand to hidden talent…
Before joining the cast of EastEnders the blond beauty starred in a number of theatre productions having specialised in screen acting and Musical Theatre. These include the titled role in Alice In Wonderland, Jamme in Phantom Of The Opera and Sophie in Mamma Mia, along with roles in Importance of Being Earnest and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The star who said she has recently relocated from New Zealand to London describes herself on the Mandy Network as a "vibrant yet grounded presence on screen" with the ability to "access emotions quickly and truthfully has set me apart from others".
She went on to add that she has more than eight years of experience in Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theatre Jazz, and commercial dance. Having performed on stage, it's no surprise that the actress has an incredible singing voice, having recently shared a video of herself singing on Instagram, where she was flooded with compliments.
Jazzy has also shared videos of her hidden talents, having shown off her impressive pole dancing skills alongside two pals, while also posting another as she sings Jolene at a local bar, the soap star is certainly beaming with talent.
Aside from showing off her never-ending talents, Jazzy regularly posts a series of stunning selfies, including an evening spent at Gordon's Wine Bar in London and a getaway to Barcelona. And as we watch her character Nadine take to life on Albert Square, we're sure to see a lot more of the blond beauty.
