Danny Hatchard has taken to social media to call out a woman who took a picture of him nude while he was performing in a show.
The former EastEnders star, who played Lee Carter on the BBC One soap, is currently performing in venues all across the UK as part of The Full Monty tour.
The 32-year-old plays the leading role of Gaz, which was originally played by Once Upon A Time star Robert Carlyle in the 1997 film.
The show opened earlier this week to rave reviews from critics and fans, but one person in attendance went too far, snapping a photo of the final moments of the performance.
The Full Monty, as fans will know, tells the story of six unemployed men who form a male striptease act in order to make some cash. The story culminates with the men in question stripping nude.
Danny subsequently took to social media to call this woman out on her actions. He wrote: ‘To the woman who took a photo at the end of todays performance of full Monty with a flash on.
‘Hope you’re happy you Pervy disrespectful low life.’
The Our Girl star received support from his followers, with one writing: ‘It disgusting behaviour and I support you.’
Another commented: ‘Sorry this happened to you. Nobody has any right to take a photo of you without your consent, especially not a naked photo – totally disrespectful.’
Danny rose to fame as Lee on EastEnders, making his debut in 2014, months after being talked about by parents Mick and Linda Carter (Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright).
He captivated audiences with his incredible performances over the years, particularly during a powerful storyline which saw Lee attempt to take his own life, before departing in 2017.
Danny has reprised his role on several occasions, returning to EastEnders in 2019 as Lee supported mum Linda during her battle with alcoholism.
Lee staged a second comeback in December 2020 when he, like the rest of the nation, struggled to get his head around Linda’s bizarre and out-of-character affair with Max Branning.
