Max Bowden Takes on New TV Role After EastEnders Departure
MAX Bowden has secured his first television role since his departure from EastEnders. The 29-year-old actor, best known for his portrayal of Ben Mitchell on the BBC soap, will be appearing in the upcoming series of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip alongside former co-star Danielle Harold.
The duo was recently spotted filming for the BBC show in a small town in Gloucestershire, where they shared a moment of reunion with presenter Ishy Khan. Fans were delighted to see the pair together again, as they reminisced about their time working closely on EastEnders, where their characters shared a daughter named Lexi.
