EastEnders actor Max Bowden has taken to social media to reveal his heartbreak after discovering pal and top celebrity agent Terry Mills has died.
Terry, 38, jetted to the popular Mexican resort Cancun several weeks ago for a business trip but had fallen ill after he contracted coronavirus and was subsequently placed in a medically induced coma.
The Big Talent Group top boss had worked with some of the biggest names in the British showbiz circuit and quickly became a firm favourite in the entertainment world.
Just last year, Terry who was described by those closest to him as “caring” and “bubbly” fought off cancer.

Since the news of his hospitalisation broke, reality stars, actors and footballers had been rallying up funds via GoFundMe in order to pay for Terry’s medical bill which had been £100,000.
EastEnders actor Max, who is best known for playing Ben Mitchell had been a vocal supporter across his social media page, sharing the link several times a day.
Confirming the news of Terry’s death, Max penned: “I will love you until my last breath. You took me in when no one else would have me. You looked after me and protected me when I was at my lowest.

“You nurtured me and helped me see light. You sprayed my feet when they were stinking out the house. All you did was care about the people you loved.”
Max added: “When things got bad, we’d cuddle each other on that sofa in Marylebone like two toddlers, and tell each other we’ve got this. You battled everything, daily, and won. And this time this c**t of a virus got you.

“But you still fought. I don’t know a life without you. I don’t want a life without you.”
He went on to say: “But I know you’ll be with me. You made my family feel like they were the only people in the world. I will never forget when you ran down the red carpet at the NTAs to make my Nan feel like a queen.

“The last messages we sent each other before you fell ill, were that we loved each other. And I always will Tel. Thank you for everything you gave me. My life will never be the same. Sleep well, my wonderful friend.”
Terry’s family were faced with the devastating news that they would need to pay the sum after the British Consulate had been unable to support them.
Celebrities such as Alison Hammond, Holby City star Chizzy Akudolu and EastEnders cast members Natalie Cassidy, Gillian Taylforth and Letitia Dean had all donated in a bid to pay for the treatment.
Former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand had donated a signed t-shirt as part of an auction to raise money for Terry’s family.
Hollywood star Olivia Newton-John joined the likes of AJ and Curtis Pritchard who also donated items to be auctioned off in aid of Terry’s treatment.
