Joe Swash has been called a “true gent” after the former EastEnders star carried a 95-year-old woman into hospital when she could not find a wheelchair.

The 40-year-old rushed to help when he spotted the grandmother's relatives struggling to get her to her appointment.

Joe's good deed was mentioned on Twitter when a woman called Suz took to the social media platform to reveal the selfless deed.

And plenty of people replied to praise the former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here winner for his act of kindness. One user referred to him as a “legend” while another said he had given “hope for humanity”.

The Tweet in question by Suz read: "Yesterday my 95 year old nan had a hospital app, in a very busy hospital my 2 aunties that took her couldn't find a wheelchair so had to half carry her in, out of all the people there a man ran straight to them to help @realjoeswash thank you so much @StaceySolomon".

Joe replied to Suz's tweet, saying: "No problem! Your nan looks amazing for 95 hope she Is ok." Suz responded: "Thank you, she keeps telling everyone that you said she only looks 70! You made an old ladies day!!!!"

The replies were full of praise for Joe, with one writing: "Ah this really doesn't surprise me. Joe and Stacey come across as such lovely people, not just for the cameras. Both really kind hearted. I hope your nan is ok x."

Another commented: "This is so kind, what a legend", while another said: "A true gent! Xx."

A fourth wrote: "Joe. you give hope for humanity. Your act of kindness was a real gift to someone who was struggling.

“100% amazing geezer bless you and your family with all the joy in the world."

Last month Joe tied the knot with Loose Women star Stacey Solomon. The pair finally said "I Do" in the grounds of their Essex home on July 25.

Stacey posted pictures of the big day on Instagram, writing: "Forever. Me and My Husband. I don’t think I will ever get used to saying that. It all feels like a dream."

She then quoted Dr. Seuss, as she wrote: “You know you’re in love when you don’t want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

Joe is father to son Harry, 15, from a previous relationship, while Stacey has sons Zachary, 14, and Leighton, 10, from previous relationships, while the couple also have children Rex, three, and Rose, 10 months.

The couple's four sons were all best men at their wedding, with Stacey writing on Instagram: "Our Best Men. Surrounded by the most incredible men we could have ever wished for.

"I can’t even describe the feeling we get seeing how kind, mature, happy and caring you all are. Your speeches were everything.

"We love you all so much, more than you’ll ever know. To the moon and back forever boys [black love-heart emojis] @realjoeswashy."
