EastEnders fans were left shocked after discovering actor Micah Balfour's real age.
Balfour joined the BBC soap as George Knight's estranged son Junior earlier this year in a last-ditch attempt to stop his dad from entering a dangerous fight.
The actor celebrated his 46th birthday last week (July 18), with fan account Walford East sharing an image of the star on X (formerly Twitter) to commemorate the day.
"Happy birthday to Micah Balfour (Junior Knight), who turns 46 today. Have a wonderful day!" the caption read.

The post was flooded with comments from fans who shared their disbelief at Balfour's age, with many saying he looks much younger.
"Blimey he looks at least ten years younger than that!" one person wrote, with another adding: "46?? Doesn't really seem to have aged since playing Ben in The Bill 15 years ago."
A third said: "The fact he can easily pass for a 33 year old is amazing (I think it said Junior was 33). I hope Micah has a good day," while a fourth fan commented: "Happy Birthday, Micah. Many happy returns, he looks incredible."

After arriving on the Square in May, Junior revealed that he had a wife and son, leaving George regretful about losing contact with his family.
Junior went on to bond with Bianca Jackson over their family problems, before the pair slept together. A shocked Junior was then greeted by his son Xavier and wife Monique, who decided to return to Dubai after learning of her husband's infidelity.
Last month, Junior slept with his dad's ex-wife Cindy Beale, who still seems to be harbouring feelings for the boxer.

In the show's latest episode, Cindy was secretly unhappy after seeing Junior and Lauren Branning getting close.
Cindy confronted Junior about his intentions with Lauren, with Junior telling her he wasn't interested in breaking up families now Cindy had rekindled her romance with Ian.
Despite his reservations, Junior and Cindy are seen driving off together at the end of the episode, presumably to begin an affair properly. Will they get found out?
EastEnders airs on Mondays - Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One. The show also streams on BBC iPlayer, where most episodes drop early at 6am ahead of their TV broadcast.
