EastEnders fans go wild as Ben Mitchell actor Max Bowden posts topless pic on Instagram

EASTENDERS fans went wild as Max Bowden shared a picture of himself topless on Instagram.

The 24-year-old, who plays Ben Mitchell on the soap, showed off his torso as he wished a friend Happy Birthday on the social media platform.

His followers loved the snap and rushed to tell him how great he looked, with one commenting: “Fit”.

Another simply wrote: “Sexy”, while someone else asked: “Are you working out or something.”

Max has just returned from a holiday in Majorca where he met up  Steve McFadden, who plays his on-screen dad Phil, and Jamie Borthwick [Jay Brown].

They also joined forces with Danny Walters, who stars as Keanu Taylor, and his onscreen mum Lorraine Stanley.

Max shared a photo of him and the other male stars posing in front of a beach.

He captioned the post: “Living our best life in Majorca.”

Max is best known for his role on the BBC soap, which currently sees him trying to frame Keanu for attacking  his dad Phil.

He is also well loved for his secret romance with closeted Callum Highway.

Speaking about their affair, he recently revealed: “Tony and I were in a park kissing for about two hours – it was a massive bonding experience.

“We both had beard rash by the end of it!”

But, blotchy skin aside, Max – who took over the role of Ben in April from actor Harry Reid – is thrilled by the impact Ben and Callum’s affair has had- with fans even giving the couple the nickname Ballum.

“What was beautiful was the common ground between them – these are two proud, masculine men who’ve come from a similar background,” Max told Inside Soap.

“Ben can see something in Callum he once saw in himself, and I think their chemistry showed in that scene. It’s worked.”
