Tan France is a very nice man but soon you’ll be seeing him in an entirely different light.

Don’t worry, he hasn’t suddenly had a personality transplant, instead, he is trying out a new avenue – acting.

The 41-year-old is swapping his day job on the reality show Queer Eye for playing fictional baddie Zubair in the Disney Plus series, Deli Boys. The intriguing character is described as ‘a British Pakistani gang leader who is smart, intimidating and dressed to kill.’

Tan may have had no professional acting experience, but he credits his lifelong obsession with one soap as a tremendous help.

‘I was an EastEnders kid. I’ve lived in EastEnders my entire life, sometimes even now I watch EastEnders in the US on a VPN,’ he excitedly blurted out to Metro. 

‘I loved it, and I used to take the p**s out of Barbara Windsor, Babs’ accent,’ he recalled. The late Windsor played Peggy Mitchell in the long-running BBC show for over 20 years. ‘I used to put the accent on. That’s why I did an okay job with the accent in Deli Boys because I’ve been doing it for so long in my private life.’
