EastEnders' Max Bowden and Shona McGarty go 'Instagram official'

EastEnders soap stars Max Bowden and Shona McGarty appear to have gone Instagram official. The pair have been rumoured to have been dating for months.

The news was reported by the Mirror on Sunday, August 14, just days before Bowden's pregnant ex, Roisin Buckle, is due to give birth. Max split from his girlfriend earlier this year and in June, the actor, who plays Ben Mitchell in the long running BBC show, was pictured leaving Shona's Welwyn Garden City home.

On Saturday, August 13, the pair took a trip to House & Classics Festival in Hertfordshire. Each shared pictures and videos from the event.

Among the pictures that Shona shared was one on the pair posing for a photo, with Max hooking his arm around Shona's shoulders as he held a cigarette while she cheekily stuck her tongue out. The actress who plays Whitney Dean, captioned the Instagram post "BEST DAY EVER!".

Max posted an image on himself dressed in matching tropical shorts and shirts with accompanying hat and sunglasses. It was captioned: "Hats are cool, Pete Doherty wears one". Which received, among other comments, the response "It’s not the hat I’m concerned about here", seemingly referring to his outfit.

Neither Max nor Shona have addressed the romance rumours, according to the Mirror. The publication has reached out to the actors' representatives for comment.
