EastEnders stars Shona McGarty and Max Bowden were all smiles as they arrived at the British Soap Awards together on Saturday at London’s Hackney Empire.
The soap stars, who play Whitney Dean and Ben Mitchell on the iconic BBC One soap are said to have 'grown close' after Max split from his pregnant girlfriend this year.
Max, 27, who is the sixth actor to play character Ben Mitchell in the BBC soap, has also been pictured leaving Shona's Welwyn Garden City home recently.
