Jonny stars as a 22-year-old dancer who has an affair with a married man – his sister’s husband.

The actor tweeted to say he’s “stunned and blessed” to be one of the top 12 nominees up for the awards that identify and encourage emerging talent.

Jonny got his big break last summer when he became Albert Square’s new heart-throb – the fun loving grandson of undertakers Les and Pam.
