Former EastEnders stars Jessica Plummer and Ben Hardy have been enjoying a sunny-looking holiday in Turkey together on Instagram.

The pair, who played Peter Beale and Chantelle Atkins on the soap, respectively, have since appeared together on BBC One thriller The Girl Before – which aired last year.

Taking to his Instagram page, Ben shared a series of videos and photos from their getaway, including being surprised by a birthday cake.

"The best fake birthday holiday I've ever had," he admitted in the caption.
