Former Eastenders actor Paul Nicholls has had a shock transformation - looking years away from his character at Albert Square - after he landed a new role on a BBC children's drama.
Rising to fame as schizophrenic Joe Wicks on the long-running soap, Paul's stint on the show came to a halt after one year due to his struggles with alcohol and drug addiction.
The star was best known for his trademark curtains hairdo and blonde tips.
