Three massive clues EastEnders stars Max Bowden and Danielle Harold were secretly dating before their bitter split
THERE are three massive clues that EastEnders stars Max Bowden and Danielle Harold were secretly dating before their bitter split
It was revealed today how Danielle and Max, who played Lola Pearce and Ben Mitchell on the BBC soap, had been a relationship.



Even though they have now split, their relationship has only just come to light.
Suspicion was sparked after they unfollowed each other on Instagram last week.
A source told Daily Mail: “Danielle and Max dated for a number of years.
“Of course, it was known among the EastEnders cast and everyone thought they were sweet together.
“Their relationship hasn’t ended on the best terms, and they have even unfollowed each other on Instagram.
“There are a lot of emotions after they were friends, colleagues, and romantically involved for such a long time.”
Now three big clues have come to light which proved they were secretly dating.
GUSHING TRIBUTES
After Danielle‘s EastEnders character Lola Pearce passed away, Max was first to pay tribute to her acting.
The actor took to social media to post a sweet message to her.
Sharing a series of snaps of them together, the Ben Mitchell actor wrote: “Our girl. What you have achieved in the last twelve months is extraordinary.
“My whole EastEnders “journey” started with you, and what a ride it’s been.
“Watching you work so closely everyday has been inspiring, but hasn’t quite topped being your friend. You’ve been there for all of us when we’ve needed a friend, and for that I can only thank you.”
NIGHTS OUT
The pair often enjoyed boozy nights out together.
One evening saw them getting close at the Inside Soap Awards in 2023.
The two stars were seen quaffing champagne and letting their hair down at the annual ceremony.

TV JOBS TOGETHER
After leaving EastEnders the pair took part in Celebrity Antiques Roadshow together.
The actors teamed up to hunt for hidden treasures in a special episode of the much-loved show.
Danielle and Max were seen cracking jokes as they took a trip round the Cotswolds.

LIFE ON ALBERT SQUARE
Meanwhile, on the show, the pair acted frequently alongside each other, with their characters sharing a child together.
Even after leaving the soap, they had appeared on screen together for an episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, coinciding with EastEnders 40th anniversary.
While chatting to co-host Ishy Khan, former I’m A Celeb star Danielle spoke about her former co-star and best friend and praised: “We’re really close, really close.
“It’s nice to do something fun. With EastEnders, our storylines are really heavy and really sad.”

Max added: “We did some really dark and beautiful storylines together so we’ve spent a lot of time in each other’s pockets, which is why we’re so comfortable with each other.”
Danielle, who joined the soap in 2011, left the soap in 2023 after a devastating brain tumour storyline that saw Lola die, but continued to have sporadic appearances via videos her character left behind.
Max joined the soap in 2019 as the sixth actor to play Ben on the Square, and left the show as well in 2024.
In the soap, he was written out after being extradited to America after being caught out in a credit card fraud.
He had previously been in the States in a bid to find medical care Lola needed to stop her from dying.
His exit was swift, with characters revealing he had left during a chat in the café, saying he had pleaded guilty to the charges against him.
Max had previously dated Shona McGarty, who plays Whitney on EastEnders, but the pair split after just six months in 2022.
He has a son, Reginald, from a past relationship with insurance exec Roisin Buckle, but the pair split in 2022.

‘World’s sexiest footballer’ Alisha Lehmann drops major hint over second career in modelling after lingerie shoot
The world’s most feted female footballer online is ready for a racy new Alisha life.
Even Roger Federer hasn’t served up as big a presence on Instagram as Alisha Lehmann, who is Switzerland’s top sporting influencer.




Now the striker’s following could soar further – after she revealed she is keen to do more lingerie modelling.
Lehmann had raised her profile on the pitch even further last summer when she made a unique piece of transfer history.
The 26-year-old and boyfriend Douglas Luiz both switched from Aston Villa to Juventus.
And while Luiz has struggled for a regular start with the men’s team, Lehmann is currently out injured for the women’s side.
But off the field she’s made great strides – with a possible second career beckoning.
Lehmann joined underwear brand Tezenis for a photoshoot ahead of Valentine’s Day.
And she’s confirmed she’d love to take it further – with more such work.
She told 20 minutes: “We really worked together well and had a great shoot.
“We were able to take some really beautiful pictures. I’m happy!”
Lehmann – regularly called “the world’s sexiest footballer” – then revealed some of her inner, winner, linger-ie secrets.
The former West Ham player added: “For a woman who is confident and wants to show that she is confident, it is important that she feels good.
“And this lingerie is really very comfortable.
What I also like is that it is underwear that every woman can wear.
“No matter what her body type is. I really like wearing it myself.”
Lehamnn’s followers appeared delighted with the news.
One described her as the “the most beautiful footballer of all time”.
That’s quite a statement in the “beautiful game”…
Not many fans engaged with that argument.
But plenty made a more simple claim – that “Douglaz Luiz is a lucky man”.
A glimpse into the life of the influencer,,,












I woke up in hospital after gruesome injury and phone call from Sir Alex Ferguson speaks volumes about the man he is
A FORMER Manchester United ace opened up about an incredible gesture Sir Alex Ferguson made at a dark time when he thought his career was over.
Ferguson, 83, is considered by many as the greatest manager of all time having won 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League trophies during his 17-year reign at Old Trafford.


Sir Alex also gets credit for turning some of United’s greatest young prospects into legends, such as the famous Class of ’92 consisted of the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.
One of Man Utd‘s academy graduates who got an opportunity to shine under Fergie is Philip Mulryne.
Mulryne, 47, joined the Red Devils’ academy at the age of 14 and made his senior debut under the Scottish great on the final day of the 1997-98 campaign.
The former midfielder, though, never managed to earn a permanent spot in the first team and that led to a mere five appearances until his move to Norwich a year later.
But a year after joining the Canaries, the ex-Northern Ireland international suffered a devastating leg break which put his career at serious risk.
And as he was lying on a hospital bed agonising about his future, the phone rang and it was Ferguson reaching out to him and offering him the opportunity to rehabilitate at Old Trafford.
The footballer-turned-priest returned to Old Trafford for a celebration of the club’s academy and shared his incredible story to an audience of current United hopefuls.
Mulryne said: “I just want to say, as a testament to the club and what he [Ferguson] did, first of all he gave me my debut.
“But a year after I signed for Norwich, I broke my leg. It nearly ended my career.
“I woke up in hospital that night and the first phone call I got was the gaffer, offering that I could come back to the club for all my rehabilitation, and I had left the club a year.
“That was unbelievable for me and that was testament to the personal element to the club, not just the on-the-field, off-the-field attention to the person.
“That’s a wonderful testament to the club and the people in it.”

‘We’re not Arsenal’ – Chelsea fans hold protest against Todd Boehly ownership and demand they leave
CHELSEA fans fumed “We’re not Arsenal” as they held a protest against Todd Boehly’s ownership group at Stamford Bridge.
Hundreds of Blues supporters gathered outside the stadium ahead of Tuesday night’s Premier League clash with Southampton.





They first marched down the Fulham Road with banners, leaving traffic at a standstill, before letting off flares and even throwing dollars on the floor.
Local tube station Fulham Broadway closed due to a “fire alert”, with reports claiming firefighters were forced to put out several pyros outside Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are on a dismal run of form that has seen them lose three consecutive games in all competitions.
They have also won just three of their last 12 matches.
And fired-up fans showed their anger at the situation as they also waved placards and sang pro-Roman Abramovich songs outside Stamford Bridge.
Their anger was directed at American billionaire Boehly, who led a 2022 takeover of Chelsea with investment group Clearlake Capital under the consortium banner ‘BlueCo’.
Chelsea have since spent over £1.2billion on new signings while working their way through three permanent managers and several interim bosses.
They are now facing a potential third season without Champions League football after Saturday’s defeat to Aston Villa saw them drop to seventh place in the table.

And supporters gave Boehly, Clearlake and BlueCo a piece of their mind with a number of fiery banners this evening.
One read: “BlueCo, stop killing Chelsea, get out of our club.”





Another declared: “BlueCo, Clearlake, Boehly, (Hansjorg) Wyss, (Jose) Feliciano and (Behdad) Eghbali. You’re destroying our club.”
One noted: “No stadium plans, no UCL football, average squad, player trading obsession.”
Another simply added: “We’re not Arsenal. Win or f**k off.”
Numerous chants were also heard from the Chelsea fans gathered outside the Bridge.
Among them included “Jose Mourinho”, “Roman Abramovich”, “You should have bought Brighton”, and “You’ve won us f**k all.”
Chelsea stars will be hoping to cheer the protestors up by delivering an emphatic win against Southampton tonight.
The visitors are rooted to the bottom of the table.
And anything less than a straightforward victory will not go down well with doubters.
Man, 45, who verbally abused & grabbed Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman by shoulders spared jail after ‘shameful act’
A MAN who grabbed Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman by the shoulders and verbally abused him with a homophobic slur during an election canvass in Dublin, has been spared jail.
The incident on November 2 happened when the then Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth went door-to-door around the Erris Square, Waterville area in Blanchardstown.

Salesman Karl Ronan, 45, of Erris Square, Waterville in Blanchardstown, pleaded guilty to assaulting Roderic O’Gorman, threatening and abusive behaviour and damaging his clipboard.
Father-of-two Ronan appeared again at Blanchardstown District Court yesterday for a Probation Service assessment to be furnished to Judge David McHugh.
Judge McHugh ordered Ronan to carry out 200 hours of community service instead of a four-month prison sentence.
At an earlier hearing, Judge McHugh noted Ronan had emailed an apology, which O’Gorman had accepted.
The court heard Ronan “lost control”, pushed the TD off his property and threw O’Gorman’s clipboard, which broke off a wall.
Judge David McHugh had described his actions as “appalling”, “deliberate”, and “homophobic, it would appear”.
His solicitor, Simon Fleming, had told the court it was “a shameful act” and “an affront to the whole democratic process”.
However, he stressed that Ronan did not have far-right political views.
His victim impact statement was not read out during the hearing, but the defence solicitor said the politician was “a very compassionate and forgiving” person, and he had accepted Ronan’s apology.
The solicitor said his client had “lost control” and had “made a fool of himself” and would have to deal with the publicity surrounding the case.
