+++ Jodi to swap Chester for Walford +++

Former Hollyoaks babe Jodi Albert has opened negotiations with BBC bosses about becoming the latest sexy EastEnders character.

The 21-year-old, who played sultry Debbie Dean in Channel 4's weeknight soap, was thought to be planning an attempt to get into Hollywood and said to have moved to Los Angeles.

But the Essex temptress has been missing her popstar beau, Westlife's Kian Egan, and is contemplating a move to Walford to get her career back on track.

Since leaving Chester-based Hollyoaks last year, Jodi has been searching for other roles and even signed up for a T4 documentary showing her going back to drama school.

Now though, she could be set for a starring role in a square with her name on it, as Albert Square bosses look for some young sexy stars to help boost ratings.

"EastEnders has always boasted a young central female character with the X-factor," a telly insider told the Daily Star.

"It's a tradition started long before Coronation Street picked up on the idea. Producers are looking for someone to follow in the footsteps of Mel Healy, Tiffany Mitchell and Bianca Jackson.

"They want a young, sexy and sassy girl who can carry some explosive storylines - and Jodi really impressed them in Hollyoaks."
