Jarrod Bowen made a groundbreaking appearance in the BBC soap EastEnders as part of the show's 40th anniversary celebrations, marking him as the first current Premier League player featured. In a video message, Bowen congratulated a character, Billy Mitchell, a West Ham supporter, on his upcoming wedding. This cameo highlights West Ham United's influence on the EastEnders community. Bowen expressed his honor in being part of the celebration, while EastEnders' producer celebrated the link between the show and the football club, reflecting a deep connection within East London.
Bowen appeared via a video message to wish Billy Mitchell, a West Ham fan, all the best for his upcoming wedding to long-term partner Honey.
It's great to be part of the EastEnders 40th anniversary celebrations and appear on the show. EastEnders is loved by so many people and obviously has a strong link to the east London community.
EastEnders has many dedicated West Ham fans, both on and off screen, so it's a real honour that we can now say we have had the West Ham captain and England international appear in the show.
The 40th anniversary celebrations of EastEnders will begin on Monday, February 17, with all episodes dropping simultaneously on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
