SOAP star Steve McFadden will be swapping Walford for the Wood when he turns on the town's Christmas lights next month.
The EastEnders actor, who has played Cockney hard man Phil Mitchell for over 25 years, has been booked to flip the switch.
The shopping centre announced this week that Mr McFadden would be doing the honours on Saturday, November 23.
A shopping centre spokesman said: "Following on from the last couple of years we have booked Steve McFadden, one of the biggest names in soap history, to turn on the Christmas lights at the shopping centre.
"We hope everyone is as excited as we are to welcome him."
There will be various family activities on the afternoon in question, with proceeds being raised for both Solihull and Heartlands Hospital.
Last year the illuminations were turned on by Emmerdale star Adam Thomas, while another EastEnder, Jake Wood, did the job in 2017.
