Jake Wood
Len Goodman takes EastEnders bad boy Jake Wood, aka Max Branning, to the stunning Cornish coast to relive his school adventure holiday of 1980.
In today's journey through time Len takes EastEnders bad boy Jake Wood, aka Max Branning, to the stunning Cornish coast to relive his school adventure holiday of 1980.
Len gets things off to a great start, picking Jake up in a vintage 1980s coach. To cap it all off, he is even in school uniform! When they hop off in Bude, Len surprises his guest again, this time with his former school teacher Mr Lashbrook, who fills us in on childhood Jake.
After a frolic on the beach, they head indoors to tackle an indoor climbing wall and inject some adventure into their holiday. Len then recreates one of Jake's favourite childhood memories as they race each other before sitting down to share a mammoth knickerbocker glory and chat about his early career in commercials.
Len ramps up the nostalgia by taking Jake to the local dorms, similar to one he stayed in on his school trip, and they enjoy a read of his favourite comic and some strawberry bonbons! Jake chats about his career in EastEnders, where he racked up almost 1,000 episodes.
Along the way we get an insight into Jake's brilliant and varied career, from his first big break, right up to the present day and, of course, his appearance on Strictly. We also delve into what made this holiday special for a young Jake Wood.
