"It was phenomenal, what dreams are made of," Mellor told the Manchester Evening News about his part as the treacherous knight Valiant. "I had a great character to play, with horse riding and sword fighting in a stunning setting."
However, the filming in sunny Paris did have a downside for the former Hollyoaks star because of the costume he had to wear as Valiant.
"It was very hot in the chainmail and armour and I got a little bit bumped about, but it all felt part of it," he said. "At the end of the day I felt like I'd done a day's work."
Mellor, who also stars in comedy Two Pints Of Lager and A Packet Crisps, added: "As an actor, there's not many days you go home and feel like you've done a day's work, because often you're sat about most of the day."
