Former EastEnders star Ricky Champ has shared some reunion photos with his on-screen brother Tony Clay.
The Albert Square brothers took a trip to the theatre last night (January 12) to see Tanya Franks – who played Ricky's on-screen wife Rainie Highway in the BBC soap – performing in Shakespeare's Othello.
Sharing the snaps on Instagram, Ricky captioned the post: "My bro! Othello at @nationaltheatre to see @tanyafranksruns".

Tanya officially left the soap in June before her character Rainie returned briefly in August to reconnect with Stuart and leave Walford for good.
Previously opening up about her exit, Tanya shared: "When you think that Rainie was only supposed to be in two episodes in 2007 – and here she is 15 years later – it's quite incredible.
"There have been different scenarios and storylines for her that I could never have foreseen, and after all this time she still challenges me as a character.
"Rainie will always have demons as a recovering addict that I still feel inside for her, particularly with situations where she's required to be strong. Honestly? She's been a total revelation to me."
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer.
