EastEnders fans have been left furious by a
realisation that Callum Highway (Tony Clay)
has moved on from his criminal husband Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).
Ben was extradited to the US last month after
being charged with credit card fraud and has since been sent down for six years.
The two were wed in 2021, and their marriage was turbulent with Ben involved in an horrific male rape story, and later diagnosed with an eating disorder.
Fans of the character and his on-screen hubby, collectively known as Ballum, had hoped for them both to have a happy ending, but this didn’t happen.
However, judging by an Instagram post shared by the BBC soap yesterday (30th April), he’s already moved on.
‘A perfect moment captured in The Vic…’ they captioned a picture of Tony, alongside his co-star Martin Fowler (James Bye) in the show’s famed Queen Vic set.
Followers were quick to pick up on the fact Tony wasn’t wearing Callum’s wedding ring, suggesting that he may have decided to call time on his relationship.
