EASTENDERS fans were left feeling shocked as they discovered a show hunk starred on the soap six years before their current role.
He trained as a firefighter prior to acting, before studying at The International School Of Screen Acting.
In January, Stephen Aaron-Sipple was confirmed as the new Mark Fowler Jr in the BBC soap after making his mysterious debut in the New Year’s Day flash forward episode.
But fans have discovered that the hunk also played a delivery driver in the BBC soap opera in 2020.
A clip on EastEndersGossip on TikTok was captioned: “Stephen who plays Mark also had a brief appearance in 2020.”
In the video clip he was seen driving up to Sonia in a flashy convertible as Whitney asked: “New boyfriend Sonia?”
Stephen replied: “Keys are in the dash and there’s a note,” before he abrutply walked away.
It was only a brief moment but fans were shocked and one wrote: “I didn’t even know he had been on it before.”
Another added: “OMG!”
A third said: “One thing about Eastenders, they’re going to recycle an actor.”
While a fourth wrote: “Oh wow!”
The EastEnders hunk was recently hailed an “endless inspiration” after revealing he switched up his early acting career to become a fireman.
His secret job came to light on Instagram, as he admitted he was “struggling” to find paid work on-screen.
He uploaded a series of snaps showing him in his fireman’s outfit, including him posing by the engine and with his team.
In his lengthy caption, he explained the reason for his very important side hustle and wrote: “Quick story… 10 years ago I was a struggling actor….my daughter was born, and my family needed stability, a word not used very often in the acting world.
“I was very lucky to be able to fulfil another childhood dream and became a London Firefighter a job that has taught me so much, about myself, about life, about loss, about gratitude.”
The star – who has also appeared in Netflix fantasy drama The Witcher – previously opened up about his weight loss after shedding a whopping six stone.
