Fans were left horrified when Kush was brutally killed by murderer Gray.

Over 100 viewers made official complaints about the scene where he was pushed into the path of an oncoming Tube and run over.

Now Davood has been seen enjoying pints with his former EastEnders colleagues Matt Di Angelo and James Bye.

All three sported huge smiles for the camera as they posed with their arms around each other.

Matt posted the picture, joking: "Just a couple of tall guys hanging out talking bout Maradona."

Davood has undergone a clear physical transformation since playing Kush, as his character was clean shaven.

Now the actor sports a big beard and moustache.

He commented on his friend's post sarcastically, asking: "Sorry, who is Maradona??"

Others rushed to compliment the actors, with one follower saying: "Looking very handsome guys!"

Another added: "Hope you all had a great night!"

In the past year the actor was confirmed as part of the cast of Death in Paradise spinoff, Beyond Paradise.
