Max Bowden's own love life would probably be deemed too unrealistic to be an EastEnders storyline.
The 27-year-old actor, who started his TV career in Waterloo Road before appearances in Casualty and Doctors, first set foot on Albert Square in 2019.
Max became the sixth person to play the iconic role of Ben Mitchell, taking over somewhat controversially from Harry Reid, who gracefully sent his successor some well wishes.
