EastEnders fans in for a treat as Ian Beale 2022 calendar goes on sale
I’M A CELEB’S latest arrival has been immortalised in a hilarious new 2022 calendar.
Adam Woodyatt, who plays EastEnders’ Ian Beale, joined the show on Thursday and now fans can enjoy a different image of EastEnders icon Ian Beale every month of the year.
Adam, 53, is the BBC soap’s longest serving character and the only original cast member to have appeared continuously since its launch in 1985.
The £14.95 wall calendar features a dozen entertaining photos from his 36 years in Albert Square, including his endless marriages, family dramas and cheesy one-liners.
But the most popular pic shows his toughest time of all – when he became homeless in 2012 after suffering a series of mental health problems and ultimately a breakdown.
During the dramatic storyline, tragic Ian went missing for weeks after he was jilted by fiancé Mandy Salter on their wedding day, finally returning with matted, straggly beard, old woolly hat and filthy clothes.
Other months show him battling with arch nemesis Phil Mitchell and sobbing following the death of his daughter Lucy, in a 2014 scene that went viral following thousands of views on YouTube, and was turned into dozens of memes and gifs.
It is produced by and costs £14.95.
