Adam Woodyatt, who has played Ian Beale in EastEnders for 40 years, had been a VIP guest at the third anniversary performance of ABBA Voyage in East London and celebrated with fellow stars at an afterparty.

But he stayed down to earth by taking public transport to go home at 11pm, deciding not to take a car like most celebrities.

"I was shocked to see him on the DLR, then he swapped to the tube. Nobody seemed to notice him really - I was thinking 'he can afford an Uber!' but Adam seemed totally at home on public transport, like a normal person."

Myleene Klass, Elvis Costello, U2’s Adam Clayton, Rob Brydon and West End star Marisha Wallace were among other guests at the event.

They joined ABBA icons Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson who flew to London to attend the event.

Adam, 56, took a break from EastEnders in 2020 but returned in August 2023.

He has reportedly made big money for his TV gigs, including roughly £500,000 for his 2021 appearance on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The actor also earns a reported £250,000 per year for his EastEnders gig.

Adam, who officially divorced his wife Beverly in 2022 after 22 years of marriage put £245,763 into a new firm shortly after they first split in 2020.

He had earned the cash through acting gigs and funnelled it into his company Caledfwlch — which is Welsh for King Arthur’s sword Excalibur.

He set it up ahead of his I’m A Celebrity stint in Gwrych Castle, North Wales.

This week, Adam was spotted looking loved up with a mystery woman after hitting the gym in London.

He shared a kiss with the red-haired woman after a sweaty workout before driving off together.

Adam's character Ian Beale debuted in 1985 during the show's first-ever episode.

He played a major role in the BBC soap's 40th anniversary episodes when his wife Cindy's Christmas Day attacker was revealed.
