Walford actor feels "so lucky"

EastEnders actor Aaron Sidwell has revealed that he feels privileged to be working on the soap.

Sidwell made a dramatic debut as Steven Beale (previously played by Edward Savage) in September when the character was revealed as Ian's stalker.

"I have been so lucky," Aaron told the Daily Star. "Not many people get the chance to work on such a huge show, and my entrance was pretty impressive. I still wake up and think: 'Oh my God, I'm in EastEnders.' It's brilliant."

Aaron has promised that viewers can expect more bad boy antics from Steven in the coming months.

"He is always going to be a bit unstable and there will always be danger," Sidwell explained. "I don't think even he knows what he's going to do next - but he's deadly, so don't let the nice guy act fool you."
