EASTENDERS star Jake Wood looked very different after showing off his clean-shaven look. The 50-year-old actor - who is best known for playing Max Branning on the BBC One soap - ditched his usual bushy beard for a freshfaced appearance.
The TV favourite posed topless from an exotic location as he read Barbara Windsor's husband Scott Mitchell's warm, colourful and heartfelt tribute book to his wife.
Jake wrote: "Been loving remembering beautiful Bar thanks to this wonderful book by my dear friend @scott.mitchell3. "A love story that recounts their 27 years together (through all the ups and downs) I would recommend you read it very much.
