EastEnders star Charlie Winter releases rap single he recorded on day off

EASTENDERS star Charlie Winter has released his first rap single on YouTube - after recording it on a day off from filming in Albert Square.

The actor - who plays Hunter Owen on the BBC One soap - has recorded track Cheeky Chappy Flow and released it yesterday.

EastEnders heartthrob Charlie has put the tune out under the name Chaz and has dropped a video which was shot in London's Regents Park.

In the video Charlie ups his street cred looking stylish in a simple black tracksuit as he raps in the park.

The lyrics are full on banter about his looks, saying "keeping it simple smile and dimples," as he sends out a message to his "haters," saying "girls see you and they blink and leave".

Charlie, who plays Tamzin Outhwaite's character Mel Owen's son in the soap, has been teasing the song's release on his Instagram page.

His fans praised him on Instagram.

One wrote: "This sounds unreal," while another wrote: "Sick video," and a third chimed in: "This tune is a bop."

Charlie joined Eastenders last February and has lived up to his cheeky chappy persona ever since.

Tamzin Outhwaite escaped Walford for Portugal 16 years ago carrying Steve Owen's child, who is now teenager Hunter.

She returned to the soap in February.

He kept fans hooked with his romance with Louise Mitchell and enraged Phil Mitchell by taking Louise's virginity.

Hunter looks set for a dramatic New Year as recent EastEnders filming pictures have revealed that the soap is lining up an explosive showdown between Hunter, Mel and Jack in the wake of the New Year wedding drama.
