A former EastEnders actor surprised locals when he turned up at a Bridgend bar. Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jake Wood, who played Max Branning in the BBC soap, is visiting the town over the bank holiday weekend.
It has emerged that he is on rugby tour with friend and will be watching Bridgend Athletic. After arriving in south Wales on Friday night, Jake decided to go out for a few drinks to the Red Dragon in Litchard, Bridgend.
And locals say he caused quite a stir with customers who thought he was just a convincing lookalike. When they realised it was actually him, they were asking for selfies and having a chat with him, telling them he like it so much he would definitely be back.
