The 58-year-old actor, who plays Phil Mitchell in the BBC soap, didn't seem to mind the attention at all as he posed for pictures with the enthusiastic fans.
Several buxom beauties planted kisses on his cheeks and the hen party looked delighted to have the EastEnders legend as an addition to their wild night.
The bride-to-be, dressed in a black and white polka dot frock, and wearing the customary learner's plate around her neck, seemed overwhelmed by meeting Steve on her big night.

Steve dressed casually for the event, wearing navy chinos and a coordinating bomber jacket as he greeted party-goers.
His character is currently absent from Walford as he recovers from a liver transplant following a shocking storyline that saw his alcohol addiction spiral out of control.
Phil's wife Sharon (played by Letitia Dean) decided to take him away to Italy to heal, and, despite fans' fears that he might die, the EastEnders hardman is better having been living there for over two months.
Although viewers are eagerly awaiting his return, they were baffled as Sharon arrived back earlier this month without Phil in tow.

EastEnders fans were confused when Sharon returned without him earlier this month
When Michelle Fowler (Jenna Russell) caused a dramatic car crash, Sharon came rushing back to check that her friend was alright, but fans were distracted by the fact that she came alone.
Many flocked to social media to comment on Phil's absence, with many wondering why he was still missing.
One even tweeted: "Where is Phil? Breaking King Phil is missing!"
