'EastEnders' newcomer Brian Conley got lost in Albert Square after filming his first scene.
Brian Conley as Terry Cant
The comedian, who has joined the BBC One soap as Sonia Fowler's (Natalie Cassidy) dad Terry Cant, has recalled going into the Queen Vic to pick up his things after shooting a scene in the Square, but he went back outside and was stunned to see everyone had left.
He said: "My first scene is with my daughter Natalie Cassidy, Sonia, and we had to do this scene outside just right in the Square and it’s very dark and we had this dramatic scene and everyone goes, 'Alright that’s it, thanks.'
"I went back into The Vic and I put my coat back on, found my script, got my coffee and when I came back out everyone had gone and I didn’t know how to get back."
Brian stumbled upon the BBC One soap's fictional Tube station Walford East, but realised he couldn't get the London Underground home because it isn't a real station.
He said: "You go up here, down there and suddenly I’m here and I don’t know what to do.
"I can’t catch a train because it’s not a real train station."
At one point, the 59-year-old star thought it might have been a prank and the cast and crew were going to "jump out" and surprise him.
Speaking on 'The One Show', he added: "Then I was thinking, 'Oh maybe this is a joke and they’re all going to jump out.'
"I was just wandering around the square all on my own, it was very weird."
While Brian didn't know his way around Albert Square, his late father used to work as a prop man on the show and would regularly put up his son's tour posters around the set.
The star recently said: "He would often be there a lot and post posters in the markets – you could see me in the background of a Gillian Taylforth scene."
