In real life, James Bye – who plays Martin – took a short break from EastEnders late last year to appear in a Christmas pantomime.

He played The Prince in the musical version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre.

The soap's stars will not be taking pantomime breaks this Christmas as show bosses want key cast to be involved in the filming for the 40th anniversary episodes, which air in February 2025.

EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
