Former EastEnders star Christopher Parker is worlds away from his Spencer Moon past.

Arriving in Walford in 2002 alongside older brother Alfie Moon, played by soap stalwart Shane Richie, Christopher’s character had a jam-packed time, from getting involved with local gangsters and leaving Vicki Fowler pregnant after a one-night stand to being blackmailed by Stacey Slater, before leaving in 2005 for Sydney to live with his cousin.

Fast forward nearly 20 years later, Christopher is now a Senior Consultant at Ignition Law.

For two years, Christopher took his TV pursuits to the US, where he worked for TMZ and hosted Dead Famous Live alongside Gail Porter in Los Angeles.

He then graduated from Birkbeck University in London with a law degree.

Christopher is also the director of business affairs and a company solicitor at Insanity Group.

He also lists past experience in a senior position in local government alongside the Metropolitan Police and work with offenders and mediation and restorative justice conferences on his profile.

Now, his professional page on LinkedIn explains: ‘I am a qualified solicitor specialising in commercial and media law, including commercial litigation, intellectual property, reputation management, harassment, information law, employment matters, rights management and entertainment based transactional work.’

Christopher also appeared on the first-ever series of Strictly Come Dancing in spring 2004 and made it all the way to the final with his professional partner, Hanna Karttunen, where they lost out to winners Natasha Kaplinsky and Brendan Cole.
