EastEnders’ Ted Reilly dragged a mystery blonde into a busy corridor and spent 45-minutes snogging her face off at the National Television Awards after party.
The 22-year-old heartthrob – who portrays gay student lawyer Johnny Carter in the long-running soap – dropped jaws on Wednesday (25.01.17) when he pulled a stunning woman, whose identity is not yet known, out of the celebratory bash held at London’s O2, pressed her against the wall and made out with her in front of stunned onlookers.
An eye witness told The Sun newspaper: "The after party finished at 1am but Ted wasn’t ready for it to end. He moved into a corridor near the exit with the woman where they got very passionate against a wall. They were kissing for absolutely ages and it got a little awkward when fans kept disrupting them for selfies.
"Ted didn’t look too bothered though — they continued for almost an hour. But just before 2am staff asked them to leave because they were blocking a doorway."
However, Ted’s lack of concern no doubt stemmed from the fact he’d reportedly spent six hours knocking back the booze with his co-stars throughout the star-studded event.
But it wasn’t just Ted who had struggled to stay away from the bottle as his on-screen father Danny Dyer – who plays loveable landlord Mick Carter in the show – was planning to give up alcohol for the entire month as part of the ‘Dry January Challenge’ but failed to stick to his bright idea just 25 days in and was spotted gulping down lager.
He explained: "I did try to give up drinking but, I’m now sucking on a lager. I will go on a seven-day bender. I’ll go and put my pyjamas on then get on it. Nice ‘jamas I have."
