EASTENDERS are to introduce their first Muslim lesbian.
This month BBC bosses have hinted Iqra Ahmed (Priya Davdra) has a secret, as she has been seen hiding a series of mysterious text messages.
And next month it will emerge the youngster is gay and messaging girls.
A show source said: “Iqra has been fighting to keep her sexuality quiet, but eventually the truth will emerge.”
EastEnders previously aired a storyline featuring a Muslim character’s gay love affair in 2009 when Syed Masood fell for Christian Clarke.
But Iqra is their first female Muslim character to come out.
