EastEnders’ Max Bowden heaps praise on young Lexi Pearce actress after Lola’s heartbreaking death

EASTENDERS star Max Bowden heaped praise on the actress that played young Lexi Pearce after Lola’s heartbreaking death.

The soap actor posted a sweet clip onto his social media as he praised the skills of his Walford co-star.

Max, 28, took to his Instagram story to pay tribute to his on-screen daughter, Isabella Brown.

He posted a sweet video of the pair enjoying down-time on set, where the pair were playing around.

In he clip, before playfully hissing in her face he exclaimed: “You gonna pretend you’re not doing it now?”

In jest she jokingly replied: “What is wrong with you Max? You’re so annoying,” before putting her hand up for cover in exuberant false disgust.

However, despite the jolly nature of the clip, Max was more sentimental with his caption, as he wrote: “The light to all of the Mitchell’s!

“This kid brings out my inner child and actually hate the face she is about to start big school.”

He added: “Took this whole story in her stride an amazing talent.

This comes after fans of the long-running BBC soap were left heartbroken as Lola Pearce finally lost her life to a brain tumour on Wednesday.

Lola (Danielle Harold) had her last breaths as she passed away peacefully on the BBC alongside her daughter Lexi. However, many fans were left gutted that Jay was not with Lola when she died in what some have called “the saddest episode ever”.

Jay sobbed into his wife’s hand when he noticed that she had died whilst he had left the room.

Max first arrived on EastEnders to play Ben Mitchell in 2019 alongside Lola and her daughter Lexie.
