A bit of East End glamour could become the main attraction at a football club's games.

For Braintree Town's latest signing Tommy Williams is dating EastEnders star Michelle Ryan. The couple have been dating for 18 months.

Fans of the non-league Ryman League premier division side will be on the look-out to see if she turns up on the terraces at Clockhouse Way to support her boyfriend.

Miss Ryan, 20, plays Zoe Slater, the troubled daughter of the programme's Slater family. Mr Williams, 25, signed this week for the Iron from Wealdstone until at least the summer of 2006.

A spokesman for EastEnders confirmed Tommy and Michelle are an item but declined to comment on their relationship.
