Danielle Harold and Max Bowden’s secret relationship sparks backstage drama with co-star’s ex.

Fans of the popular show EastEnders are buzzing with curiosity over a possible behind-the-scenes romance involving two of its stars, Danielle Harold and Max Bowden. Some believe their secret relationship could have stirred up drama among the cast, particularly concerning Max’s ex-girlfriend, Shona McGarty.

Max Bowden, who portrays Ben Mitchell, was previously linked romantically with Shona, 33. Their relationship lasted around six months while they worked on the long-running soap, but it came to an end shortly after Max became a father for the first time with his ex-girlfriend, Roisin Buckle. The couple seemed to have an amicable split, as they remained friends even after going their separate ways.

Recently, Danielle and Max sparked intrigue when they unfollowed each other on Instagram, which some fans noticed and speculated about. This incident occurred after rumors surfaced about their years-long secret affair that had flown under the radar until now. They were also seen together in a special episode of Celebrity Antiques Road Trip, celebrating EastEnders’ 40th anniversary, where their chemistry was evident.

An insider commented on the abrupt change in their relationship, noting how close they used to be, even after leaving the show, which makes the public unfollow seem very unusual. A fan, curious about the situation, took to Reddit to express their surprise at the sudden action, questioning why the two had stopped following each other.

Adding to the speculation, it was pointed out that Shona might have been involved in the unfolding drama. After rumors of Max and Danielle dating emerged, Shona reportedly unfollowed both of them on social media. Some fans recalled that Danielle had also unfollowed Shona during the British Soap Awards nominations back in March, suggesting some tension might exist between the three.

The incident led to theories about potential jealousy or conflicts among the co-stars. One Reddit user noted that beyond the unfollowing, Shona had been posting some cryptic messages on social media, which some fans interpreted as thinly veiled insults directed at Max and Danielle. This situation only adds another layer of complexity to the relationships brewing behind the cameras.

Despite all this drama, it’s worth noting that Shona seemed to maintain a friendship with Max after their split, even praising his bond with his mother at award shows. Meanwhile, Danielle’s popularity continues to grow, and her off-screen relationships are becoming closely watched by fans eager to know more about the lives of their favorite characters.

As the plot thickens, fans are left wondering what caused these changes and how it will affect the relationships between these stars moving forward. What once appeared to be a happy cast may have hidden tensions that are now beginning to surface. The public curiosity surrounding these personal lives shows no signs of fading as EastEnders continues to hold a special place in the hearts of its audience.
