OHMYGOSSIP — Shaun Williamson could have been killed on ‘Celebs On The Farm’.
The 55-year-old actor – who played Barry Evans in ‘EastEnders’ – narrowly avoided a fatal accident when he almost flipped a digger while filming for the show.
Richard Woolfe, the executive producer of ‘Celebs On The Farm’, said: “There was a bit of a scary moment during one of the tasks where Shaun’s getting to grips with a digger.
“As he’s trying to dig out a trench he accidentally whacks it into reverse and almost flips it over.
“Luckily he managed to hold his nerve and came away laughing about it.
“We were all joking that after what happened with Janine in ‘EastEnders’, who was a gold digger, we should’ve known better than to put him behind the wheel of a real life one and it was always going to happen.”
TV bosses had wanted Shaun to make an appearance on the show for two years. But their ambition only came to fruition when the coronavirus pandemic caused the theatres to shut.
Richard told The Sun newspaper: “I tried to get Shaun for the last series but sadly he was away on a theatre tour so he had to say no.
“He’s someone that I knew would be brilliant and he didn’t disappoint. That was the one benefit of COVID, there was no difficulty in booking the line up that we wanted.
“At first everyone was a bit worried about Shaun as he didn’t look very happy but once he told us that it’s just his ‘resting b**** face’ he had everyone in hysterics.”
