Before you starting rolling all over the floor laughing at the sight of this Eastenders picture – let us give you a brief background as to what's going on here. Yes, this is Ian Beale (also known as actor Adam Woodyatt) and yes, he does look a bit trampy in his beanie hat and long tangled beard. But the good news is that Ian's back on The Square after a few weeks of going AWOL. And it's going to be quite the comeback.
The episodes are due to air in the next few weeks and his return will shock daughter Lucy – not just because he's showing off quite an impressive beard growth for just a four-week break, but also because he is still in quite a bad way. According to reports, Ian has even been sleeping rough on the streets (which will explain the trampiness).
According to Adam, viewers have been really supportive while he has been playing the increasingly distressed chip shop owner and after the recent storyline where Ian went wandering off down a motorway in his pyjamas, Adam decided to take to Twitter to thank everyone.
"I'm so overwhelmed by all your comments about last nights EE. Thank you," he wrote. "It's taken nearly two hours to read them all."
The 'Enders crew say they've been working with various mental health experts to get a real grasp on the storyline. So while we might LOL now at the state of the Bealemeister, we reckon we're going to need a box of tissues when the actual episodes come around.
Poor Ian, he can never catch a break.
