“I cannot give too much away but my favourite episode is the last in the series. Acting isn’t really something you do as a hobby.” I love them both equally but you can do singing in your spare time and enjoy it. I want to see how far I can take the acting thing first before pursue a singing career. I’ve been in and out of bands for a long time but now I just sing and play on my own. “I go skate boarding to keep in shape and I play a lot of guitar and sing. What do you like to do in your spare time? “Rather than go to the launderette, I once got in the shower with my clothes on. We hear you have a rather novel way of washing your clothes… “I was homesick until the first time I went home, then I just wanted to get back to Scotland and didn’t really want to go home.”

Strike arrived on the London soap in 2013 as Johnny Carter, the son of Danny Dyers Queen Vic landlord. I’ve always been quite independent so I don’t think my parents were too worried about me. Currently in the frame for a starring role as the young Leatherface is Eastenders Sam Strike. It was testing for a couple of days, but after we started filming I loved it. “I lived on my own in student digs and at first it was quite a foreign experience.

Pretending to be a spy!” “I’d like to think I have the appropriate attributes to be a spy! I’m good at moving silently, due to the parkour, which I imagine might come in handy. “There are similarities between Dan and I, we are both comfortable in our own company, but I’m not too sure how I’d actually fair in a real life battle with some of the villains on the show!” He has a very hard time trusting anybody and is ready for any situation. I believe he goes in as an untrusting sceptic and emerges the other side as a more accepting open-minded person. “Dan’s character evolves throughout the series. The scenes involved things like vaulting high rails and dropping from a height.”
