EastEnders: Secrets From The Square: This week, Stacey is joined by hugely popular on-screen duo Max Bowden and Tony Clay who play Ben Mitchell and Callum Highway – better known to fans as ‘Ballum’. The pair relive their most memorable scenes so far and reveal the stories behind them.

Max recalls the secretive casting process and how he had no idea he was auditioning for the role of Ben Mitchell, and reveals his first time working with TV dad Steve McFadden was actually as a child. Tony, meanwhile, recoils at the sight of his character’s original beanie and ‘bowl cut’ in his early scenes – a far cry from the Callum we know today – and the pair reveal how a ghostly “pigeon” nearly turned tragedy into comedy.

The show also delves into the EastEnders archives for a look at the pioneering LGBTQ+ characters that paved the way for Ballum – from Colin and Barry to Binnie and Della and Christian and Syed.

Plus, Tony and Stacey spend some time in Walford’s premiere gay bar, The Prince Albert, and relive some of his favourite scenes.
