EastEnders star Stephen Aaron-Sipple is currently in the middle of a very busy run. But his real story goes back to a time when acting was not providing him with any sort of steady support. He had a family to think about, a new baby, and bills that would not wait. That pressure took him to a very different job, one that ended up making a big difference in his life.

Stephen Worked At The Fire Station Previously
The actor once revealed that acting wasn’t providing him with enough stability. When his daughter came, he started feeling the pressure. The bills had to be paid. And the responsibilities had doubled. Thats when the artist made up his mind to take a break from the acting world. And start doing something that would require his whole dedication. Hence, that decision took him to the fire service. It’s a whole different environment from scripts and rehearsals.
Also, the star later posted older pictures from those years, showing moments from the station, long nights and tough days. Former co-workers also commented on the post. Calling him a “big young guy”, one colleague remembered their early days. Another one teased him about the table tennis, refusing to drop the joke even after all this time.
Even Stephen replied to a few comments. There were also people who recalled days when London had fires everywhere. And others were talking about those years at the same station. While a few simply wished him well for the next chapter.
