Beyond Paradise star Zahra Ahmadi has had some big screen roles, including being part of an iconic soap family, but worried that one TV job would stop her being cast as Esther
Beyond Paradise star Zahra Ahmadi is known to fans of the Death in Paradise spin-off series as DI Humphrey Goodman's partner in crime DS Esther Williams - but viewers might recognise her from another high-profile role.
Proud of her Plymouth roots Despite her first big role being in EastEnders, Zahra grew up far from the soap's London setting in Plymouth on Devon's south coast. She is proud of her south west roots and has even said getting the chance to play a West Country character in Beyond Paradise was why she wanted to be DS Esther Williams.
"I don't like bugs, so I had a lot of bug incidents in Guadalupe...", she explained to Sunday Brunch. Life after EastEnders Despite leaving such a high-profile soap, Zahra definitely hasn't found it was the end of her career success - she has been cast in some very well-known shows over the past 16 years since leaving Albert Square.
