EastEnders star Max Bowden reunited with his castmate Lorraine Stanley this week, as he took to a hot-tub for a celebratory soak.
The BBC One stars have recently returned to set, filming a fresh new batch of episodes following the lockdown suspension.
Relaxing after a long day of filming, Max, 25, joined his girlfriend Danielle McCarney in the tub as they slid under the bubbles and posed for a snap.
Wearing a black bikini, Danielle looked delighted as she sipped on a glass of prosecco, while Max floated in an inflatable doughnut.

Sharing the snap over Instagram, Lorraine, who plays Karen Taylor on the soap, wrote the caption: “Good times.”
Max, who plays Walford’s resident gangster Ben Mitchell, re-posted the snap, adding the words: “In my happy place.”
The soap star spent the lockdown with his longterm flame Danielle, with the sweethearts occasionally sharing snaps of their shared home.

Transforming the gaff during the months spent at home, the duo fitted a wine bar in the front room and installed a swish swimming pool in their back garden.
Now, after months of relaxation, Max has returned to work, as Ben Mitchell’s volatile romance with Callum Highway reaches a breaking point.
Revealing his hopes for their relationship, in May, Max told Metro: “I think there’s always hope with Ben and Callum – it comes back to their basic being. Callum gives to Ben what he’s never had.

“That settlement, he doesn’t have to be more than enough which Ben has always needed. If anyone can help Ben get used to that it’s Callum.”
The Surrey-born actor joined the soap just last year, but has made his mark on the show, earning a nomination for the National Television Award for Most Popular Newcomer in January.
With a matter of days left before EastEnders returns to our screens, no doubt Ben will find himself in hot water as his storylines play out – but can his relationship with Callum survive?
EastEnders returns on Monday, September 7 on BBC One.
