IT’S on the Square, guv – footie legend and I’m A Celebrity hero Harry Redknapp is close to landing an ACTING role on EastEnders.

The former Premier League boss is set to sign on the dotted line for a potential part as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter’s new sidekick.

It’s a huge coup for the BBC soap’s executives who had kept weeks of behind-the-scenes talks under wraps.

A source said: “Harry will be a great addition to EastEnders. Even though he has no traditional acting experience, his character and charm are more than enough to stand him in good stead on the show.
