ONE OF the actors who has played Johnny Carter in EastEnders over the years looks almost unrecognisable as a new cast member steps up to the plate.

Ted Reilly had the role of the gay solicitor son of Mick and Linda Carter five years ago.

Ted has also grown out a moustache and the beginnings of a beard.
