EastEnders fans go wild for fit new Peter Beale actor Dayle Hudson

EASTENDERS fans have gone wild over the fit new Peter Beale played by actor Dayle Hudson.

Dayle is the seventh person to play the character, who returned to the soap last week to support his hospitalised brother Bobby.

Standing at 6ft 3inches and with blonde hair, the statuesque star has left viewers swooning.

Taking to Twitter to discuss his appearance one person wrote: New Peter Beale is actually pretty hot, hope he stays in for a while.#EastEnders.

A second added: Peter beale is fit xx #EastEnders.

While a third gushed: New Peter on EastEnders is like 8 feet tall and hot, thanks.

Ben was last played by actor Ben Hardy who quit to go to Hollywood and has starred in a series of blockbuster movies including X-Men: Apocalypse and Bohemian Rhapsody.

He was last seen in Walford in 2015 after he left the Square unable to deal with the news his brother Bobby had been responsible for killing his sister Lucy.

But he has now put that behind him after Bobby was brutally attacked for being Muslim.

Ben took over from Thomas Law, who held down the role for four years, between 2006 and 2010.

Before him, Peter was played by James Martin, who joined the soap in 2004 but quit two years later.

Prior to James taking on the role, actor Joseph Shade held the part of Peter from 1998 to 2004, with Alex Stevens playing him as a young boy for a year between 1997 and 1998.

Speaking about his new role, Dayle told HOAR Online: I am really grateful and excited to have the opportunity to work on such an institution of British television, alongside some incredible actors.

Peter has been away for some time so I cant wait to find out what hes been up to and Im very excited to see what the future holds for him.
