Dhafer L'Abidine's ball control was tested to the limit by Model Jordan's sin-sational FF cleavage, he plays Marcel Sabatier, Harchester's team captain. The busty Daily Star favourite makes her acting debut on Dream Team. She's a saucy temptress who has been brought in to dispel gay rumours about Harchester's team captain.
But while viewers see midfielder Marcel trying his best to score, dishy actor Dhafer says he had to give 110 per-cent to keep his mind on the game- and off Jordan's glorious boobs. "Jordan's great, a really spontaneous and funny girl- but she's also very distracting," laughed Dhafer, 30, who played in the Tunisian premier league before turning to acting. Dhafer, whose footballing career was cut short by a knee injury, added: "when we were filming, I had to focus hard to stop my mind and my eyes wandering. I tried looking at the ceiling, I tried peering at the floor and I tried staring into her eyes, but my eyes kept creeping downwards. I felt terrible because it's so rude to stare at a woman's bust - but with Jordan, its impossible not to. Luckily, she was very good about it."
Dhafer's plight wasn't helped by the fact that Jordan, with her wicked sense of humour, would tell jokes to him from behind the camera while wearing fabulous outfits. In Jordan's appearance in episode 'Bending the Truth' the pair make a trip to a celebrity party so Marcel can be snapped out with a top babe on his arm. For the scene, Jordan wore a tiny mini skirt and an eye-popping pink corset. "The corset kept slipping down and I had to keep pulling it up for her," grinned Dhafer as he revealed the memory. "But I cant complain- most of the show's male viewers would be green with envy."
Jordan is the first in a series of high-profile guests being lined up for the award-winning drama. Rumours are that Harrods chief and Fulham owner Mohamed Al Fayed is also being tipped to take a small part. Scriptwriters are already working on an explosive end-of-season cliffhanger that will see at least one of the shows favourite characters shot down in a hail of bullets.
The shows success is good news for Dhafer, who couldn't believe his luck in landing the part after coming to Britain to study drama and learn English. He cant wait to get his teeth into some beefy storylines and confessed: "up until now, fans have only seen the professional side to Marcel, he comes across as a mild-mannered polite guy but there is a dark side - and we'll be seeing that very soon. You can understand his stress, football is a very macho game and the gay taunts push him over the edge. One supporter even turns up with a banner asking Marcel to marry him! He's not impressed with the idea of going on a fake date but at the same time he is fed up with a hassle and goes along with it." Like most men, its not long before the midfielder falls for Jordan's quite considerable charms. But does our captain eventually score? You will just have to wait and see....
