Aaron left EastEnders fans swooning with his show debut earlier in the year, and it isn’t a stretch to see why.
The actor regularly posts photos of himself to Instagram and is praised for being “hot” and “gorgeous” by followers – and his attractiveness is no fluke.
Aaron maintains his buff appearance via his holistic lifestyle and writing on his website, described fitness as being “at the very core of his being.”
He wrote: “Physical exercise has always been a huge part of my life.”

Aaron has become a soap staple since making his EastEnders debut but his days on Albert Square could soon be numbered.
Following his fallout with Kheerat, fans will see Ravi attempt to kiss his girlfriend Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) and Stacey later inform Kheerat of that fact – leading the pair to brawl on the streets of Walford.
With the secret of his father’s murder also heavy on his shoulders, will Ravi manage to get out of both situations unscathed?
EastEnders airs Monday to Thursday on BBC at 7.30pm
