Former EastEnders star Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell) has moved into a camper van, while he appears in panto.

The camper van is located in the theatre's car park, so Steve manages to avoid the 30-mile commute from the theatre in Milton Keynes, to his £1 million home.

One fan told The People, "I couldn't believe it when I walked into the car park and saw Steve in this camper van. It was very strange, him making a cup of tea in his little mobile home.

"You'd think on his wages he'd be living it up in a swanky hotel in the area. Instead he just kips in the car park. He doesn't go straight to the van after performances but waits until most of the fans have gone home. It just shows how down to earth he really is."

Steve's solicitor explained, "Steve enjoys staying in his camper van. It has nothing to do with money and everything to do with him being himself."
