Since leaving the soap, Ghadami has used his social media to encourage his fans to embrace the gym and use his fitness regime as inspiration.

Ghadami, who is originally from Harlow in Essex, made his TV debut in Casualty in 2005 before making appearances in The Bill, Doctors, Taggart, Top Boy and Silent Witness to name a few.
