EastEnders NEWS – Adam Woodyatt serves vegan food at festival 2 years after quitting soap; plus Hollyoaks & Corrie news | The Sun

EASTENDERS fans attending Carfest North this weekend will recognise a familiar face, as former star Adam Woodyatt took on the role of chef.

The soap star spent many years serving fish and chips with a grumpy look on his face in Albert Square, but in this new role he looks joyous.

Adam Woodyatt left the iconic soap just two years ago, and has been on a series adventures since.

This weekend saw the actor serve Vegan lunches to festival goers, while sporting a hat taken from his time on  I'm A Celeb.

This is not the first time fans would have seen Woodyatt working hard in the kitchen.

The star was also seen working a food stall in Marlow, Bucks, in 2021, telling customers he was "getting paid in burgers".

Adam had been playing EastEnders penny-pinching Ian since 1985, and was the longest-serving member of the cast.

He stood down from the show in November 2020 with his final scenes airing in January the following year.

Speaking on his departure, the legendary soap star said: "I’ve kind of left, but not left. It’s kind of the way the storyline has gone, I’m not there.

"I could go back and I could not go back! I don’t know. The speculation has been hysterical.

"I think everyone is always going to speculate. But there are no plans at the moment.”
