Move over Danny Dyer, it looks like there's a new EastEnders favourite in town. Adorable baby Matthew is currently at the centre of a tug-of-love storyline as his step-dad, Jack Branning, and biological dad, Charlie Cotton, battle for custody of him. But everyone is more interested in how absolutely adorable he is, with his chubby little cheeks and big blue eyes. Oh, our ovaries! There's no way EastEnders can send him to live with Charlie in Ireland - it would break the nation's hearts!
Matthew has been living with Jack and his cousins, Amy Mitchell and Ricky Branning, since his mum, Ronnie Mitchell, tragically died on her wedding day to Jack. Charlie recently turned up after being summoned by Jack's brother, Max, who has aided Charlie in getting Matthew back as part of his revenge plot.
While actor Scott Maslen has put in some brilliant emotional performances as grief-stricken Jack, it's been baby Matthew who's been stealing everyone's hearts and no one can get over how super-cute the tot is.
Fans have taken to Twitter to gush over the little'un, cooing over everything from him eating a pizza, to him running in the park on his ickle leggies.
Seems the little man has quite the fanbase. Don't take him from us 'Enders!
