NEWLY single Honey Mitchell was approached by Bob Lister who took a liking to her earlier in 2022.

EastEnders actor Nick Wilton is no stranger to popular TV shows and even appeared naked in an advert featuring Gordon Ramsay.



The reoccurring character was first introduced on BBC One in 2008 and ruffled the feathers of many Square residents along the years and his 52 appearances, including Stacey Slater.

But during last night's trip to Walford, his behaviour was branded inappropriate by some viewers after he flirted with Honey Mitchell (played by Emma Barton).

65-year-old Nick Wilton hadn't been seen on screens since July, 2022.

The actor has many credits to his name as he's starred in many other programs in the likes of The Bill, medical drama Casualty, Heartbeat, Justin's House, Doc Martin, and Doctors.

But in 2011, one of his busiest years in EastEnders, Nick became the face of a hilarious Specsavers commercial alongside Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay.

In the advert, Nick walks into a steam room, undressing himself to relax.

He closes his eyes, ready to wind down, but picks up a carrot just as pots and pans appear in the background.

The steam dissipates, only to reveal Nick was never in the sauna in the first place as he's sat naked in the celeb chef's busy kitchen.
