EastEnders star slams fans who say he's cheating on his wife
EastEnders' Davood Ghadami, who played Kush Kazemi in the BBC soap, has shared a slew of loved-up snaps with girlfriend Melanie Barker, who he reportedly met while performing in panto EastEnders star, Davood Ghadam i, has hit back at a fan who accused him of cheating on his wife in a fiery exchange on Instagram. Davood, 43, who played Kush Kazemi in the BBC soap, has shared a slew of loved-up snaps on social media with his girlfriend, Melanie Barker, 32, who he reportedly met while performing in panto three years ago. Many of the actor's fans adored the happy snaps in which the couple pose up a storm in Greece. However one of Davood's followers had seen quite enough after accusing the actor of infidelity. They responded: "Unfollowed. Don't like people who cheat on their spouses and break up families." Hitting back, Davood retorted: "Bye then! I don't want people following me who know nothing." The actor married his long-term girlfriend Isobel in 2010 and they have two daughters together. Back in 2018, Davood told Woman magazine: "My wife and I know each other inside out and have a genuine understanding about how the other ticks. We met 17 years ago at university so we've got a lot of shared history. "I'm an incredibly lucky man. My life couldn't be the way it is without her support. She was amazing when I was in Strictly and kept everything going." However, in 2022, the Strictly Come Dancing star met Melanie when they were both performing in Aladdin. A source told The Sun at the time: 'They are two very attractive people and it was clear they had sizzling onstage chemistry together. 'There was a lot of flirting backstage and I'm sure Aladdin wouldn't have been happy that Princess Jasmine was giggling with Abanazar behind his back. 'But the genie is now well and truly out of the bottle and they are a proper couple — living together, training together and posting photos on Instagram together. 'It's almost like a perfect fairytale ending — but for the previous partners they have left in their wake.' Davood and Melanie, who was married to Daniel Haslam, reportedly stayed in touch when the pantomime ended. At some point, love grew between them and they moved in together. They went Instagram official with their relationship earlier this year and have now shared their romantic sun-soaked holiday. However, Davood was also hit with cheating rumours when he appeared on Strictly. When he took part in the BBC show in 2017, he was partnered up with professional dancer, Nadiya Bychkova. The duo was plagued by rumours of the infamous Strictly 'curse' - with judge Bruno Tonioli even claiming their samba looked like a "race to the bedroom". However, Davood hit back at any suggestions of infidelity, saying that he and then wife, Isobel, knew the truth behind the dances on screen. "People will say things," he insisted, adding: "As long as you know the truth and the people you love know the truth - it shouldn't matter."
