EastEnders’ Steve McFadden takes to the road on his scooter next to pal driving his Rolls Royce
MOTOR-MAD EastEnders star Steve McFadden couldn't be missed as he took a ride on his motorbike in a bright yellow jacket driving directly alongside his mate who was behind the wheel of his swanky Rolls Royce.
It seems the soap favourite couldn't bear to be separated from his swish car collection as he took a trip out around north London.
So while he favoured a jaunt on two wheels, perched on his trendy black scooter in his hi-vis, his male pal sat pleased as punch behind the iconic vintage vehicle in a dark red shade.
Steve, who plays hardman Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap, was seen lifting the visor on his helmet for a chat through the car's open window as they came to a stop at a zebra crossing.
He then pointed his hand at the car's door as he inspected his prized possession.
The car, a favourite of film star James Bond, is believed to be the same one in which the actor was arrested for drink driving and slapped with an 18-month ban.
He was also forced to pay £1,000 after the incident in 1996.
The drivers then waited patiently in the huge queue of traffic which had piled up behind an ambulance.
He rode close by the car before pulling over to make a phone call.
Steve, 57, removed his black helmet and chatted away on his mobile while gesturing with his hands.
He seemed deep in concentration during the call before he pulled away and continued his journey.
The London lad was dressed for a day in the September sunshine wearing a pair of shorts and bright white trainers during his time off screen.

Responding to the fact that Denise was worried that she would be mistaken for her baby’s nan, one tweeter said: “The fact Denise is 47 and looks 37 I don’t think people would think she’s the babies nan tbh #eastenders”, and another said, “So Denise is 47 then? Would never have known #eastenders".
