WHILE they may not be the best of friends on-screen, Max Bowden and Shona McGarty have become inseparable behind cameras.
In a new shot shared on Instagram, however, the EastEnders actor is seen getting cosy in bed with another co-star, Lacey Turner.
Soap viewers have been heart-broken as Ben Mitchell's rape storyline has unfolded on their screens.
But despite taking part in such a harrowing plot, which made it hard for him to even bond with fellow star Aidan O'Callaghan, actor Max Bowden can relax between takes – as he has proved in a recent Instagram story.
Taking to the social media, Max stunned EastEnders fans as he shared a selfie of him in bed with Stacey Slater actress Lacey Turner.
"Plot twist…", Max captions, while tagging his co-star in the post.

Max was spotted leaving Shona McGarty's Welwyn Garden City house in Herts, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after he had spent the night there.

The pair are rumoured to have formed a bond although their on-screen characters are notorious for not getting along.
