EastEnders fans floored as actor playing ‘schoolboy’ flashes bum in string of ripped naked selfies & learn his real age
EASTENDERS fans have been left floored after an actor playing a 'schoolboy' flashed his bum in a string of ripped naked selfies - and learn his real age.
Monday night's episode of the BBC soap saw teen Denzel attacked by a group of school bullies, led by newcomer Logan.
Yolande saw the commotion and rushed over to help Denzel, but she tripped and fell and was left squirming on the ground as the bullies filmed her as they continued to subject Denzel to a beating.
But many EastEnders viewers were distracted by Logan, and the actor who plays him, Liam Hatch.
Despite being in a school uniform making him no older than 16 in the soap, Liam is in fact 27 years old in real life.
When he isn't acting, he is a personal trainer and online coach, and his Instagram account is full of shirtless pictures of him working out at the gym.

As well as showing off his six pack and muscly arms, Liam is also partial to showing off his bum.
A number of pictures on his profile page show him posing in front of a view, facing away from the camera totally naked with his arms outstretched.
His latest one was for his 27th birthday in October and saw him posing on some railings while holding onto a flag pole with a Greek flag, while looking out over the rocky scenery in front of him.
He captioned it: "The tradition that always gives… #27. Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and gifts, you are the best."
But EastEnders fans were completely baffled as to why Liam had been cast as such a young character considering his age and physique.
One wrote: "Why is #eastenders casting people in their late 20s to play teenagers all of a sudden?"
Another added: "Who is this 45 year old teenager?"
A third commented: "Is that blonde guy seriously meant to be a teenager?? Surely not? he looks like 30!"
Meanwhile a fourth joked: "Almost certain that this school boy sold me my mortgage…"
Thankfully, Liam has seen the funny side of the comments and responded on his Instagram Stories.
Posting screenshots of his scenes, he wrote underneath: "Logan, the most talked about bully on the street."
He then added cheekily: "(Ps...I don't sell mortgages) alongside a crying with laughter emoji.
EastEnders airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
