It’s Not Hard To See Why Peter Beale Nearly Broke Twitter Last Night

We’ve long been fans of Ben Hardy and if his spot in EastEnders last night didn’t make your jaw drop, we don’t know what will. Ben, who plays Peter Beale, nearly gave Twitter users a heart attack when he stripped off in the middle of Lauren Branning’s kitchen. The 24-year-old had girls swooning across the country and he was trending within a matter of minutes. It’s not hard to see why though, to be fair and we're sure he'll be missed when he leaves Albert Square in the near future.
