Two youngsters from the EastEnders cast have been involved in an off-screen bust-up, according to The Mirror today.
James Alexandrou, who plays Martin Fowler, and Chris Parker, aka Spencer Moon, are said to have squared up to each other after Chris, 20, stropped with the makeup girl. The fight is rumoured to be the climax of an ongoing problem which has seen other members of the young cast stop talking to Chris, who has been in the soap for a year.
"Chris Parker has been annoying some of them," an insider told the newspaper. "He was moaning that it was really cold and then asked one of the make-up girls to put Vaseline on his eyebrows for filming. She was a bit hesitant about doing it and he got stroppy with her.
"[James] told Chris not to speak to the make-up girl like that. Then he said all the actors had had enough of his attitude and that he had become a prima donna. Then it all kicked off and Chris told James to grow up. James was furious and went for him; some of the others had to hold him back. In a fit of temper, James punched the side of the van, but whacked his hand really badly. The medics told to him to wear a sling, but he had to take it off to film though."
A BBC spokeswoman said that there had been a "misunderstanding" between two members of the cast but they have since "ironed out their differences."
