Zoe Lucker believes Jake Wood will "definitely" become this year's Strictly Come Dancing champion.
The actress has already pinned the soap star as the winner of the BBC One dancing show.
Speaking to Digital Spy Zoe said: "I think he's probably got tough competition but I think he's going to win, definitely!"
The actress did also admit she could never have pictured her former EastEnders co-star on the dance floor enjoying the tango.
"I know at one point he did mention 'Strictly' to me. I'd done it myself before then and it was the year that Scott Maslen [who plays Jack Branning on 'EastEnders'] was doing it. He asked me, 'What do you think about it?' But I couldn't imagine Jake doing it.
"I think he'd been thinking about it for quite some time, and obviously the time came when he just decided to go for it."
She added: "I texted him last week saying, 'You're outstanding and I'm so excited for you. He's just amazing and who knew? He's brilliant."
