Former EastEnders star Max Bowden and Danielle Harold are set for onscreen reunion on Celebrity Antiques Road Trip.

The pair were all smiles as they posed for a picture together while filming for the beloved BBC show.

A fan account shared the picture on their Instagram with the caption: ‘Danielle and Max Bowden reunion.’

The two were also recently spotted a small town in Gloucestershire with presenter Ishy Khan.

Max and Danielle who played Ben Mitchell and Lola Pearce respectively worked closely together on the soap as their characters share a daughter called Lexi.

Ben, who is married to Callum Highway (Tony Clay), is currently in prison after committing fraud in the US last year.

Meanwhile Danielle left the programme last year when her character passed away from terminal cancer.

Alongside a promo picture of Ben outside the Arches, Max thanked fans for embracing his version of Ben, having been the sixth actor to take on the role.

‘Well guys It’s that time!’ He penned.

‘It’s been one hell of a ride! Thanks for taking Ben to your hearts and allowing my version into your lives. I had an amazing five years at EastEnders and learnt a hell of a lot about myself and the craft I love so dearly; it got me through some very hard personal times and I will be forever grateful!

‘I really will never be able to thank everybody for the support enough, because the fans of the show are so passionate, caring, and invested and it enables us as actors to want to keep going and always be better; so I really do from the bottom of my heart appreciate every single person who has sent any sort of positivity my way over the last five years – I love you all.’

Max first took on the role of Ben in 2019, and has some dramatic storylines during that time, including his marriage to Callum Highway (Tony Clay), his devastating rape ordeal and his recent struggle with bulimia.

Last year, an EastEnders spokesperson confirmed Max’s exit to Metro.co.uk, saying: ‘Max will be leaving EastEnders next year. We wish him all the best for the future.’
