Jonny Labey only graduated from Bird in 2014 but has already enjoyed significant success. Perhaps best-known for playing Paul Coker in EastEnders, Jonny joined the cast in 2015 as the grandson of Les and Pam Coker, who fell in love with Ben Mitchell. Paul was later killed off in an homophobic attack, leaving the BBC soap in 2016.

After enjoying success in Baz Luhrmann’s critically acclaimed musical Strictly Ballroom, Jonny has gone on to appear in X Factor: Celebrity and Top Hat.
