Jake, 48, has two children with his wife Alison. The couple are also parents to son Buster.

In 2019, the soap star told fans that Amber had her sights set on becoming a model.

He said on Instagram: “My daughter Amber Bo wants to model. Thank goodness she takes after her mum!”

Jake also tagged leading modelling agency Wilhelmina Models, but it’s unclear whether Amber ever signed to the agency.

How did Jake exit EastEnders?

Meanwhile, EastEnders fans were left emotional last week after Jake bowed out of the BBC soap after almost 15 years.

In his final scenes, his character Max headed to the tube station after being told to go by Linda and Jack.

He was initially going to take his granddaughter Abi Branning Jr with him, but in change of heart left her with her great-aunt Rainie.

Jake later took to social media and thanked both bosses of the show and fans for all their support.

Alongside a video of his most memorable moments, the actor wrote: “Thanks for everything @bbceastenders. What an incredible 15 years it’s been.

“I’ll miss the show a lot but I’m looking forward to new challenges and new adventures.

“Thank you to everyone for all your love and support.”

When asked what he plans to do next, Jake recently told WhatsOnTV:  “Just homeschooling. No one might ever offer me a job again.

“This might be the last time you see me on screen. I might just slip off and open a shop somewhere. Or become a farmer. I quite fancy that.”
