EASTENDERS star Amar Adatia has revealed he has become a dad for the second time.

The actor – best known for playing Jags Panesar on the BBC soap – shared his happy news with fans last night.

Alongside a picture of the newborn, Amar wrote: “Full Heart. Welcome to the world Arella Adatia.”

His famous pals rushed to congratulate him, with Jess Impiazi commenting: “Congrats you guys.”

While his EastEnders co-star Rukki Nahar wrote: “Congratulations.”

The star welcomed his first child in December 2021.

The 39-year-old appeared in EastEnders from October 2019 to October 2020, when his character was wrongly sent to jail – by his own mum.

Suki framed Jags for Martin Fowler’s assault – which was actually carried out by her other son Vinny – after he revealed his relationship with Habiba to the family.

Heading the the police station, a seething Suki handed Jags’ bloodied jeans over to the police and told them he was wearing them on the day of Martin’s attack.

It wasn’t long before a devastated Jags was whisked away in a police car.

Fans were stunned at Suki’s brutal betrayal and shocked she’d stoop so low.

After his exit Jags was killed off-screen in prison – leaving Suki and the rest of the family devastated.

Amar has also appeared in Doctors and the films UK Residents Only, Gangsters Gamblers Geezers, Dangerous Game and Dead Ringer.
