EastEnders' Adam Woodyatt and Letitia Dean recall being sent home for 'giggling'

Speaking to Stacey Dooley on spin-off show \'Secrets From The Square\', Adam (Ian Beale) said: "A combination of Tish, Sue [Tully, who played Michelle Fowler], me and Paul Medford [who played Kelvin Carpenter], we got sent home one Friday afternoon, and got told to come back in the following day, because we just got the giggles.
