EastEnders' Joel Beckett has revealed that he was a poor sex symbol as he refused to appear semi-nude.
Beckett, who played Jake Moon in the soap, asked producers to rewrite a scene in which he was scripted to appear semi-naked, reports FemaleFirst.co.uk.
He is quoted as saying: "I was supposed to do a scene wearing nothing but a towel the size of a small handkerchief.
"In the end, they let me do it with a T-shirt on. My stomach could definitely do with toning up. No amount of airbrushing could make it look good!"
