Alex Walkinshaw, known for his roles in both EastEnders and other popular TV shows, recently gained attention for his portrayal of Ross Marshall on the BBC soap opera. Last year, fans were excited to see Vicki Fowler, played by Alice Haig, return to Walford after a long absence, accompanied by her boyfriend Ross and his son Joel.

In a dramatic turn of events, Vicki and Ross’s wedding plans were disrupted by a confession of infidelity, but they ultimately exchanged vows, solidifying Ross’s place in the Watts/Fowler family. Aside from his EastEnders role, Alex Walkinshaw is recognized for his past roles as PC Smithy on The Bill and Jez Diamond on Waterloo Road, among others.

Alex’s family connections extend beyond his acting career, as he is related to former glamour model Jodie Marsh. Jodie, known for her appearances on reality TV shows and her ongoing feud with Katie Price, has transitioned to a quieter life running an animal sanctuary in recent years.

Additionally, Alex’s personal life has drawn interest, particularly his past marriage to makeup artist Sarah Trusler. Their lavish wedding with a Midsummer Night’s Dream theme in 2009 was attended by numerous celebrities, including Claire Goose and Gary Lucy. Despite their reported separation in 2018, Alex’s professional relationships have remained strong, with his EastEnders co-star Scott Maslen even serving as a best man at his wedding.

Fans can catch Alex Walkinshaw on EastEnders airing on BBC One and iPlayer from Monday to Thursday.
