The Sun exclusively revealed drag queen La Voix is set for a role on the show, with her cameo airing soon.
Real name Christopher Dennis, the performer will help the soap mark Pride month when she gigs in the Queen Vic.
The former RuPaul’s Drag Race star is good friends with EastEnders star Harriet Thorpe.
A source said: “Since starring on Strictly last year, La Voix has absolutely been the Beeb’s top pick, helping them host events and even announcing the UK’s scores for Eurovision.
“So when there was discussion about a drag queen performing at Walford Pride, there was only ever one option.
“La Voix was absolutely thrilled to be asked and bosses hope viewers enjoy the fun Pride special.”
