From One Direction to EastEnders | UK News

Stephen Aaron-Sipple, the actor playing Mark Fowler Jr. on EastEnders, secretly starred in a One Direction music video — yes, the same one where he dumped spaghetti and water on Zayn Malik. The clip, released in 2014, was Zayn’s last single with the band before his exit. Stephen confirmed the fun experience on Instagram, praising Zayn’s vibe. He’s been on EastEnders since 2025 (with a cameo in 2020) and even appeared in a flash-forward episode set for 2027. Before soap life, he racked up credits on shows like The Witcher and Silo — proving that fame can take you from pop videos to prime-time drama in the blink of an eye.
