Kathy Beale is one of Walford's leading ladies after appearing on the first-ever EastEnders episode in February 1985. During earlier episodes of the much-loved BBC One soap, Kathy was married to Pete Beale (Peter Dean), the twin brother to Pauline Fowler (Wendy Richard), who was famed for selling his fruit and veg on Bridge Street Market - now owned by Martin Fowler (James Bye).

Danny managed to slim down from 16 stone to 12 stone through fitness and a healthy diet, achieving a toned look that fans of the soap are now familiar with, as reported by the Daily Mirror. He revealed during a recent chat on the My Time Capsule podcast that the incident happened while on holiday with his family.
