As part of the soap's 40th Anniversary celebrations, West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen recorded a special video message for Billy, a lifelong Hammers fan.
The West Ham attacker's appearance in the show is also somewhat of family affair with future father-in-law Danny Dyer and fiancé Dani Dyer both appearing in the programme.
EastEnders fans were treated to a touch of star power during Wednesday's episode, as a beloved Premier League star made a surprise appearance as part of Billy Mitchell's stag party.
Speaking on his appearance on the show, Jarrod said: 'It's great to be part of the EastEnders 40th anniversary celebrations and appear on the show.
'EastEnders has many dedicated West Ham fans, both on and off screen, so it's a real honour that we can now say we have had the West Ham captain and England international appear in the show.'.
