'Enders stars angry at pay delay

Various members of the EastEnders cast have found themselves in the middle of a show-wide pay debacle after bosses changed the wage system.

The disruption, which has reportedly been ongoing since the beginning of the year, has seen some members of the cast and crew at the Walford soap without pay cheques.

An insider told The Sun: "There is big trouble brewing at EastEnders. They changed the payment system which effectively means they’re holding everyone’s pay cheques back – no one's happy.

"All the staff are affected – from the camera crews, extras, make-up to the actors."

A spokeswoman for the soap explained: "The BBC has recently introduced a new booking system. Unfortunately, as a result of this new system, there have been a few delays to payments but we are working to rectify them as quickly as possible."

She added: "We would like to apologise to anyone affected."
