Joshua Pascoe, who played Ben Mitchell on EastEnders from 2010 to 2012, has launched an OnlyFans account where he sells used socks and underwear. The 30-year-old actor announced the move on X, formerly Twitter, sharing pictures of his feet and inviting fans to see him “with the glasses off.”
According to reports, his used clothing items are priced between £30 and £50 each, and a monthly subscription to his profile costs $9.99 (£7.46). Pascoe’s character, Ben Mitchell, was written out after murdering Heather Trott and receiving a four-year prison sentence.
The role has since been recast twice, with Harry Reid and Max Bowden both portraying Ben Mitchell. Pascoe’s recent acting credits include a guest role in Not Going Out, a pantomime appearance, and the 2021 horror film A Suburban Fairytale.
Fellow former EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, who played Ben’s aunt Sam Mitchell, promoted Pascoe’s OnlyFans on her own platforms. Some fans expressed discomfort, with one commenting on the oddness of Westbrook promoting adult content from her on-screen nephew.
Others criticised Pascoe for clinging to his EastEnders fame, noting that his tenure as Ben Mitchell ended nearly 14 years ago and that subsequent actors have been more prominent. The actor has not publicly responded to the criticism.
