EastEnders fans in hysterics as Martin Fowler debuts surprising new look

MARTIN Fowler left EastEnders fans in stitches after showing off a brand new look.

Fans of the BBC One soap took to Twitter after the market stall holder allowed his daughter Lily to do his makeup.

It was a "proud dad" moment for Martin.

While the Slaters are dealing with Jean being sectioned, the cleaner's granddaughter Lily (portrayed by Lillia Turner) showed off her makeup skills by upgrading her father Martin's (James Bye) beauty routine.

During last night's instalment of the long-running soap, Martin proudly showed off his perfect eyebrows, immaculate contour and sharp eyeliner to a stunned Zack Hudson (James Farrar).

Zack couldn't help but laugh - much like EastEnders viewers who were just as amazed.

Many of them turned to Twitter to applaud Lily's skills, but couldn't help but laugh at Martin's look.

"Martin wearing makeup love it a Lilly original and love Zack and Martins bromance", one viewer penned before commenting on Janine Butcher's relationship with Mick Carter.

"Pauline would've loved this", a second fan wrote with a nostalgic mention of Martin's late mother.

Another viewer was completely convinced the transformation is just what actor James Bye needed, writing: "why does James look so good!"

Other fans simply reacted with numerous crying laughing emojis, adding: "this got me giggling" or "Martin's makeup looks very TikTok."

One viewer went as far as to compare Martin to Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon.

Meanwhile, Martin's former wife Stacey (Lacey Turner) is staying close to her mother Jean who has been sectioned.

Jean's mental health has been at an all-time low due to a manic episode.

She recently risked her life in Southend and nearly drowned after saying she would marry Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) on a whim.

Jean was saved at the last minute by Stacey and Martin.

After weeks of ignoring the warning signs her daughter was trying to show her, Jean was sectioned.

However, Stacey is struggling to cope, despite knowing her mother was going through a manic episode.

She had been trying to warn both Harvey and Jean about the latter's mental state but was discarded on multiple occasions.

EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One.
