Danny Dyer says EastEnders\' Christmas special is "difficult to shoot" because there is so much "pressure" on the episode.
The annual Christmas Day ep tends to see a number of big storylines reach breaking point, and Danny finds it strange having to work in September when there are Christmas decorations up.
Speaking about the filming process, he said: "It\'s powerful stuff. It\'s really powerful.
"It\'s difficult to shoot. There\'s a lot of pressure on it, and it is weird having all the decorations up. Our decorations went up, end of September.
"The trees on the Square are so confused ... it all gets very confusing for them.
"I feel sorry for them trees. Because they don\'t quite know what\'s going on."
Danny has dropped a few hints about this year\'s Christmas Day (25.12.19) special, admitting there will be a "punch-up" as well as a "knees up".
Speaking on \'The One Show\', he added: "It\'s the most important [episode] of the year, Christmas Day.
"It\'s powerful. There\'s always a knees-up, but there\'s always going to be some sort of a punch-up going on.
"It\'s brilliant this year. Every year is brilliant, but [this year] it\'s a combination of many storylines coming together."
Danny is to front new BBC game show \'The Wall\', and he recently admitted the programme is a "nice" break from the "dark" side of \'EastEnders\'.
He said: "It\'s been quite difficult actually because there\'s a lot of anxiety around the idea of being a game show host because, what is that? What does it mean?
"I\'ve enjoyed it though; I\'ve enjoyed it more than I thought I would. So it\'s been quite a leap from Walford because Walford/ \'EastEnders\', it\'s all quite serious and it can be quite dark.
"Whereas this is a light-hearted world the game show world, so it\'s been quite nice actually to have a little break and do something different."
