BEN Mitchell shocked EastEnders viewers with an x-rated sext exchange featuring the saucy aubergine emoji in last night’s episode of the BBC One soap.
Ben sent the eyebrow-raising message to a mystery character simply saved as ‘Pecs Guy’ in his phone during the show’s pre-watershed screening.

The Walford bad boy, played by Max Bowden, was seen waking up to a message that read: “Last night was hot. More later?”, Pecs Guy even included a squirting emoji that is typically used in sexting.
While having breakfast with his young daughter Lexi, Ben replied: “Problem at home I gotta sort out first.”
He then added an aubergine emoji, which is often used to represent a penis.
Fans at home couldn’t believe their eyes and flocked to social media to share their second-hand embarrassment at the saucy conversation.

One viewer wrote: “Do we really need to see Ben’s dirty text messages?”
Another added: “This new Ben Mitchell definitely sends unsolicited d*** pics.”
A third tweeted: “Oh ffs Ben sending the [aubergine emoji] – how many old people watching this trying to figure that out?”

Max took over the role of Ben earlier this year, becoming the sixth actor to play the troubled character over the years.
Most recently, Ben had been portrayed by fan-favourite Harry Reid between 2014 and 2018.
Max has received a mixed response from loyal fans of the soap, with some previously criticising his cockney accent – calling him a “bad Michael Caine impersonator”.
