EastEnders fans, you’ll LOVE these amazing throwback snaps from the stars of the soap

From serial killers to love rats, there’s always someone lurking in the shadows to make life truly miserable…
But there’s no point denying that it’s these powerful stories that make us love the soap so much.
Thankfully, however, things are very different away from the cameras.

We’ve trawled the Twitter and Instagram profiles of everyone from Jessie Wallace to Jacqueline Jossa to bring you some of their best ever throwback snaps.
Which means that, yes, you can take a look at their cheeky little faces BEFORE they ever arrived in Walford.
