Teale told CultBox: “That was fun but I actually had a bad day that day. It was the last day of filming my episode and I got really very into it.”

He continued: “It was a very mentally challenging scene; very draining. They let me get me in the right mood and get in the right place to do it, so I was very worked up and ended up in a bit of a state actually. When you’re smashing stuff up and you’ve got yourself in a place where you’re crying your eyes out… I was very much Nick in that moment.”

Teale also revealed that he was injured while shooting rugby scenes for this week’s episode: “I actually ripped soft tissue in my shoulder filming the last rugby stuff we did… It was tiring but I love playing rugby and we had a lot of fun on those days.”

Episode 5 of the current series, focusing on the character of Nick, aired on Thursday night on E4.
