EastEnders star Nitin Ganatra says he was like an excited child filming stunt scenes for the show's Christmas special.
The soap star plays Masood Ahmed, who is set to have a dangerous confrontation with wife Zainab's villainous ex Yusef. Plot details are top secret but the bed and breakfast is set to burn down on Boxing Day and Nitin was in the fire scenes.
He revealed to Inside Soap magazine: "I was walking through it and standing in it! I was like a little kid - I got really excited.
"There were certain points where they'd bring in a stuntman. But most of the time we did it on our won, which was great."
But Nitin confessed it did get a little scary.
He said: "There were some quite dangerous scenes that we filmed.
"Before we started I was like 'Oh it'll be fine', but once I was in the thick of things, I thought 'Hmmm it's really hot in here'."
