EastEnders’ Adam Woodyatt shares rare snaps with son Samuel as they complete London Marathon together

ADAM Woodyatt shared some rare snaps with his son Samuel as they completed the London Marathon together.

Actor Adam, 54, took to Instagram today after he and Samuel, 25, completed the mammoth challenge together on Sunday.

The former EastEnders star was running in memory of iconic actress Dame Barbara Windsor and posted series of photos from the day.

Adam, who played Ian Beale in the soap, said: “It’s difficult to put into words how special the @londonmarathon is.

“The encouragement and support from the crowd is just amazing, thank you for coming out to do this in the rain.

“To everyone who has supported @babsarmy your encouragement and donations have kept us all going and meant so much to us all.

“And to my son @samjwoodyatt crossing the finish line together will be a memory I will always cherish.”

Adam ran the Marathon to raise raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK after Barbara died from the disease in 2020.

He was joined by former co-stars including Lacey Turner and Natalie Cassidy.

Max Branning star Jake Wood was left gutted after being forced to pull out due to illness.

In a video shared on Instagram he said: “Unfortunately, I’ll be unable to run the London Marathon [on] Sunday due to medical advice.

“I’ve got a very bad chest infection, I’ve had it for the last couple of weeks.

“I’ve been told in no uncertain terms to not run.”
