EastEnders fans have been treated to a special reunion selfie after three former cast members recently crossed paths in Dublin.

Former soap star Adam Woodyatt, best known for playing Ian Beale in the long-running BBC soap, took to Instagram to share his delight after bumping into two fellow EastEnders veterans.

Soap fans were thrilled to see the photo which showed Woodyatt standing side-by-side with John Altman and Todd Carty.

"Small world!! Great to catch up with these two Leg Ends in Dublin," Woodyatt wrote, alongside the image.

Since waving goodbye to EastEnders in 2021, Woodyatt has been keeping himself busy in the world of theatre.

He featured on-stage in a production of Looking Good Dead last year before landing his current role in My Fair Lady.

However, the actor hasn’t turned his back on television as he’s soon set to return to screens with another soap star reunion on ITV’s Queens for the Night.
