EastEnders’ Peter Beale star looks very different as he poses topless with beard and earring after quitting soap
FORMER EastEnders actor Dayle Hudson showed off a new look after being written out of the soap last year.
The actor played Ian Beale’s son Peter for three years but now looks very different thanks to facial hair and a hoop in one ear.
Dayle, who gained a huge fan base from the BBC show, shared a snap of himself topless as he soaked up the sun on an exotic break.
The soap hunk was the seventh actor to play Ian Beale’s unlucky son following Ben Hardy who left the role in 2015 and pursued a career in Hollywood.
He left Albert Square last year after Peter was betrayed by mum Kathy and realised he had no future where he grew up.
Kathy lied to the police to get Ben Mitchell freed from custody after he assaulted Peter, but Ben immediately took revenge on his nephew.
Attacking him with a meat tenderiser, Ben shoved Peter’s head into a bowl of water and left him utterly terrified.
The attack and betrayal forced Peter to make a decision to leave Walford for good.
Following his exit, Dayle posted: “Thank you Peter, it’s been one hell of a ride.
“And thank you @bbceastenders, it’s been a socially distanced dream.”
Since then Dayle has gone on to appear in panto and has been busy auditioning for various other roles.
