The 'EastEnders' actor was left "panicking" when he saw his claret on the snow and he had to be strapped into a stretcher and skied down, just minutes after he had fell face first into the snow and had a "tantrum" because kids were jumping over him while he was on the floor.  

Recalling the incident, he said: "I was going towards cliffs and I couldn’t stop and I felt like Rodney Trotter.

"I couldn’t stop going towards cliffs but I was going, 'I’m alright,' but just kept going.

"I remember going along then just a mouthful of snow, rolling, rolling, rolling and couldn’t find my sticks.

"What was really f***** me off was kids, 4 or 5, who don’t have sticks because they’re too good at it going past me while I’m on the floor, snow in my ears, jumping over me some of them.

"So I had a tantrum. I took the skis off, put them under my arm, I was walking down the hill thinking I’ll have a few beers - I’ve had f**** enough off this. F**** off.

"And I started to slip. So I’ve slipped, and the metal bit of the ski went into my wrist, then there was blood on the snow so I was panicking, holding my wrist, then they put me on a stretcher, strapped me in and skied me down. I was f****** mortified."

The 43-year-old star - who plays Mick Carter on the BBC One soap - admitted he snubbed ski lessons because he thought he would "pick it up".

Speaking on Spotify Original podcast 'Sorted with the Dyers', he added: "I got on these f***** skis, and I didn’t want to do lessons.

"I thought I’d pick it up."
