EASTENDERS star Max Bowden was crying tears of joy today as he found out his nan was among the first people getting a coronavirus vaccine today.
The 25-year-old actor, who plays Ben Mitchell in the soap, said he "can't wait" to give his nan a cuddle after months of keeping his distance. "Tears of joy this morning," he tweeted. "My nan gets her covid vaccine today.
I can’t wait to cuddle her." Fans rushed to comment on Max's good news, with one tweeting: "Bless ya nothing like a nana's cuddle." Another added: "Anyone who follows you is aware of what a massive relief that is for you and your family.
So pleased" Hundreds of OAPs and NHS staff started to receive the vaccine yesterday on what is being dubbed V-Day after the UK became the first.
