EastEnders star Jake Wood shares shocking picture of bum tattoo on Twitter

EASTENDERS actor Jake Wood has shared a cheeky snap of a bum tattoo with his face on.

Thankfully for fans of the show and the man himself, the picture isn't off his own hairy backside, but an unknown males.

Writing alongside the snap, Jake said: "Can't believe someone's walking around with this on their backside. Incredible."

In the shot, a close up of the mysterious man's bum cheek can be seen, with a tattoo of Jake dressed as his EastEnders character Max Branning right across it.

Around the edge is the words "Can't help myself" which the star's alter ego famously said during his shocking affair with Stacey Slater.

Jake's co-star Jacqueline Jossa - who plays his on-screen daughter Lauren Branning - simply tweeted: "

Noooooooooo"; and a series of emojis after seeing the picture.

Jake - who showed off his own jiggling bottom during his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2014 - is currently on a year long break from EastEnders, having played womaniser Max since June 2006.

The star was recently spotted picking out a new pair of glasses ahead of his return to Albert Square, after Max was locked up after falsely being accused and found guilty of the murder of Lucy Beale.

Now cleared of all charges, Max is sure to ruffle a few feathers when he makes his full-time return later this month.

Speaking about the decision to take some time out earlier this year, he said: “I went up and saw them and said I was knackered and wanted a bit of time out.

“They’ve given me this summer off as well because I want to be with the kids and then it’s September I’m pencilled in to go back.”
