EastEnders’ Hunter Owen actor reinvents himself

The actor played Hunter Owen who arrived in Walford with his mum, returning character Mel – played by Tamzin Outhwaite – in February 2018.

The actor's first effort was called Cheeky Chappy Flow and its video was filmed in London's Regent's Park.
The lyrics are full of banter about his looks, saying "keeping it simple smile and dimples," as he sends out a message to his "haters," saying "girls see you and they blink and leave".
Then in January 2019, he wowed his fans with the release of his second rap video, which samples Ultra Nate's classic 90s track Free in his track Overdue Freestyle, after it was confirmed he's been axed from the soap.
The gritty black and white video sees Charlie, who goes by the name Chaz, rapping about his life while hanging out with pals.

Fans convinced Phil Mitchell will be murdered
Phil was given the option of avoiding a life sentence in prison for Vincent Hubbard’s murder and viewers know he had nothing to do with it – but the police have seized the available evidence and have a case that could put him away for years.
However they have also offered him a way out.
DCI Keeble made him the offer – insisting her bosses want him to use his retirement from crime in a productive way.
But fans are worried Phil will take the deal and turn grass – and promptly sign his own death warrant.
One wrote: “I’ve a feeling Steve wants to start wrapping up his time and giving him a bit storyline arc to finish on would be most suitable.
“Going against all his principles and all his instincts.
“And gaining a nice pair of concrete boots at the end of it.”
Another added: “If Phil becomes a grass, I won’t watching eastenders anymore.”
Corrie spoilers: Faye Windass makes shock confession
Emma (Alexandra Mardell) and Faye had a dramatic start to the new year after running over the elderly man during a driving lesson.

They have since tried to cover up any evidence of their implication, as Faye previously spent several months behind bars for attacking Adam Barlow whom she had confused with Ray Crosby.
Faye realises that truth time has come when Craig mention an e-fit of the girl the postman saw at Ted's flat, adding that the composite resembles Emma.
Craig is then faced by a distraught Faye who crumbles before him and tells him the whole story of Ted's accidental death.

Emmerdale spoilers: Vinny Dingle takes drastic action
Vinny has stopped at nothing to prove Liv (Isobel Steele) was wrongfully accused of Ben Tucker's murder.
When he realises that the search for serial killer Meena could drag on, meaning that Liv will stay behind bars where she suffered a brutal beating in Monday's Emmerdale instalment, Vinny takes matters into his own hands.
With the lack of concrete evidence for Liv to be released, Vinny pushes a traumatised Manpreet Sharma (Rebecca Sarker) to lie to the police.
A court hearing is held the next day and Liv asks Vinny to warn her estranged half-brother Aaron (first played by Danny Webb from 2003 to 2006 but portrayed by Danny Miller since 2008) about the recent events and the latter obliges.
But upon hearing Liv could be innocent, would Aaron backtrack and return to the Dales?

Spoiler: Harvey Monroe makes shock decision
In an upcoming episode of EastEnders, due to air next week on BBC One, Harvey decides to give himself and Dana (Barbara Smith) a fresh start by moving out of Albert Square and forgetting about his son's terrible crimes.
He explains to Jack Branning (played by Scott Maslen) that the pair need to leave and lies about his mother being ill.
A little white lie he believes will protect them as Harvey later reminds Dana that their landlord is also a police officer and could kick them out if he finds out about their link with Aaron.
But while Harvey made his decision, too stricken by recent events and determined to keep what is left of his family safe, Dana doesn't want to leave.
Aaron was also the cause of Dana and Bobby Beale's recent break-up during an EastEnders episode aired last week.
Aaron worked his mind games when Bobby was getting suspicious about his connection with the far-right gang, telling Dana that Bobby was only trying to isolate her from her family and force her to a religious conversion.
Next week, Dana will call Peter Beale, telling him she is too sick to come in to work.
Believing she hung up on the phone, she will reveal a huge secret while talking to Mila and Kioni… with Peter listening in.
