Joe Swash was once filmed being thrown out of a hotel on a reality show he appeared on prior to his EastEnders fame.
The 40-year-old actor joined the BBC One soap as Mickey Miller in 2003 but Albert Square isn’t where Joe made his onscreen debut.
He actually appeared in the 2000 series of ITV reality show Club Reps as a fresh-faced 18-year-old “holidaymaker”.
Joe’s appearance on the programme was ultimately short-lived as he and his friends were kicked out of the hotel by resort manager Marie “Maz” Slater for their behaviour on a previous night out.
A re-emerged video shows Maz telling off Joe and his pals over their behaviour, which saw the group trash their room and set off a hotel fire extinguisher.
The video shows Joe clashing with Maz, nicknamed Miss Nasty on the show, as she announced her intent to boot the group from the resort.
In the clip, Maz said: “The contract with Club 18-30 has been void.
“I want you to go to your rooms and pack your suitcases with immediate effect.
“I don’t have to find you anywhere to stay. You’re on the streets, as far as I’m concerned.”
Joe can be seen wearing a small pair of sunglasses as he questioned Maz about her decision.
He responded: “Can I ask something please? How comes we’re being kicked out now suddenly?
“We’re sorry for what happened last night.”
A determined Maz replied: “No, I want you out,” and was further enraged when Joe called her “treacle”.
She added: “Don’t you dare call me treacle for a start!”
Joe recently celebrated his 40th birthday and has come a long way since his Club Reps days.
Following his EastEnders exit, the father-of-three stormed to victory in reality shows I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice respectively.
He is also engaged to Loose Women star Stacey Solomon and the couple share two children together, Rose and Rex Swash.
Joe also has a son called Harry from his relationship with his former fiancée, Emma Sophocleous.
