EastEnders star and girlfriend show off astonishing bodies after cheating accusation
EastEnders star Davood Ghadami, who played Kush Kazemi, has shown off his impressive body with girlfriend Melanie Barker – after last year being accused of cheating

Who could have guessed quite what EastEnders’ Kush Kazemi was hiding under his scrufy denim jacket? Davood Ghadami, the 40 year old star who played the soap market trader left nothing to the imagination when he showed off his astonishing body during a charity fitness challenge – and it’s enough to leave anyone in Walford totally wowed.
Kush – who left the soap in 2021 – was raising money for Macmillan Cancer in November last year when he took to his Instagram page alongside girlfriend Melanie Barker to show off their progress in aiming to complete 50 burpees a day for the entire month. Although he started the video fully clothed, he’d soon whipped off his top to reveal some impressive gym abs.
And alongside a wheeze-inducing video, he said: “2 days in 100 burpees done and already don’t want to see another burpee.” On an associated JustGiving page, he explained: “We are taking on a challenge that combines fitness and philanthropy: completing 50 burpees every day throughout the month. This initiative, titled “50 Burpees a Day in November,” aims to raise vital funds to support individuals living with cancer.”

Last year, the actor was forced to fire back at a social media user who branded him a cheat following his split from his wife. He had been sharing romantic photographs on Instagram with his partner Melanie Barker, 32, whom he’s believed to have met during a pantomime production three years ago.
