EastEnders’ Steve McFadden looks worlds away from Walford hardman Phil Mitchell as he takes break from panto in Luton
Steve is starring in Jack and the Beanstalk
IS EastEnders star Steve McFadden feeling the cold on a break from his panto?
Oh no he isn’t.
While Steve, who plays hardman Phil Mitchell in the soap, wore a woolly hat and hoodie to the shops in Luton, he also bared his legs in shorts.
The 64-year-old is starring as Fleshcreep in a production of Jack and the Beanstalk at Luton’s Grove Theatre, Bedforshire.
He was pictured wearing a hoodie from the show.
Steve has played long-time Walford local Phil Mitchell on the soap since 1990, only briefly taking a break in 2004.
During his time on the soap, Steve’s character has been married four times, although he almost made it down the aisle several other times.
His latest bride is Kat Slater (played by Jessie Wallace), with the pair tying the knot earlier this year.
Steve’s character was introduced back in the day alongside his on-screen family, Ross Kemp and the late Barbara Windsor.
Ross, now 59, played Phil’s brother Grant from 1990 to 1999, briefly returning in 2005, 2006, and 2016.
