EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has given his fans a hairy moment after being spotted looking very different to his screen character.
The 54-year-old, who has famously played Ian Beale in the soap since 1985, took to social media to share a snap of himself while visiting Dublin and sporting a grey beard.
Adam penned to his followers as he flew to the Emerald Isle: “About to take off for Dublin and the next leg of @myfairladyuk tour.”

Adam is currently sporting a luxurious grey beard, telling his fans: “DUBLIN… it’s Doolittle time!!”
The actor’s divorce has reportedly been finalised after 22 years of marriage to his wife Beverley Sharp, with a friend saying: “As well as being his wife, Bev was also his manager for about a dozen years and she did so much for his career.
