EastEnders star Max Bowden's pregnant ex-girlfriend Roisin Buckle has claimed the actor hasn't spoken to her in six weeks.
Ben Mitchell actor Max, 27, and 37-year-old Roisin got together in October last year, but the pair parted ways this year after Roisin fell pregnant with their first child.
Following his split from Roisin, it has been reported that Max had grown close to his EastEnders co-star Shona McGarty, as the pair were seen holding hands while heading to a kebab van.
Now, in the lead up to Rosins due date, the pregnant blonde has claimed she hasn't spoken to the Ben Mitchell actor in six weeks.
Roisin has told The Sun: "At the time, I was all over the place, crying, not being able to look at a future without him by my side.
"There was hope we may co-parent but I haven’t heard from him in about six weeks now so I’m not really sure where that stands.
"The door is open and I would never stop him seeing his son so hopefully we hear from him."
Mirror has contacted Ben's representatives and the BBC for comment.
Roisin has also reportedly opened up on her new podcast One Mum and a Baby, according to the publication, set to launch on Sunday.
Speaking about their split, Roisin claimed she felt "down" and "vulnerable" when Max didn't show up to her 20 week scan.
Roisin added she was "in a difficult place" after he didn't attend the scan and claimed their contact is still "on and off".
However, it has also been claimed that Max has pledged to financially support his and Roisin's child.
Max's ex claimed the pair were "really excited" when they discovered she was expecting their first child, as they had previously discussed starting a family. But, during her pregnancy Roisin said her hormones "got really bad" and she was later diagnosed with depression and high functioning anxiety.
Roisin's struggles put "pressure" on their romance, she said, and things didn't work out between the parents-to-be.
But, she added: "This baby was made out of love so I didn’t think we wouldn’t get back together but needed a break."
Meanwhile, a source has said: "Max is saddened to hear Roisin make these claims as he has made it very clear that he will always be there for his son.
"But for the sake of his child’s privacy, he is not prepared to discuss these matters publicly and wants to do things the right way."
Max rose to fame as he undertook the role of Ben Mitchell in 2019. Since his debut on the soap he has had a number of hard-hitting storylines.
Most recently, Max has been involved with a harrowing storyline which saw Ben raped by bartender Lewis Butler.
Speaking about the storyline, Max said: "Alongside some wonderful charities, and some very inspirational survivors of male sexual assault in the UK, I think we’ve been able to really strive to tell the most truthful account we can, and I hope we can raise awareness and understanding on a topic that is rarely covered.
"I’m honoured to be given this opportunity to tell such an important story."
