Polish 'EastEnders' staff arrested
Staff from the Polish version of EastEnders have been arrested in Eastbourne.

According to The Sun, the show's director Maciej Migas, assistant director Krzysztos Lukascewicz and another crew member were booked by police after a "rowdy pub party" with the cast.

The stars of Londynczycy, which translates as Londoners, were enjoying an evening at The Hydro bar near their hotel.

"Everyone from the show went out on a proper bender - there were about 20 of them - but things got out of hand," said a source.

"In the end, the police ended up arresting the director, the assistant director and another chap. But they did have to calm everyone else down."

The show, which premiered in 2008 to six million viewers, is based on Polish immigrants living in the UK.

A police spokesperson confirmed: "Three males were arrested at 2.45am on Tuesday morning for breach of the peace. All three were released after a caution."
