Dayle Hudson picked up EastEnders kissing tips from The Graham Norton Show

Dayle Hudson picked up tips from \'The Graham Norton Show\' for his first-ever \'EastEnders\' kiss.

The Walford newcomer - who was working as a bricklayer when he found out he had landed the part of Peter Beale on the BBC One soap - asked his co-star Danielle Harold (Lola Pearce) what to do, and he also discovered he wouldn\'t need to use his tongue during smooching scenes while watching the chat show.

He said: "Before my first kissing scene with Danielle Harold, I was like, \'I\'ve never done this on telly before, can you baby-step me into it?

"I learnt from watching an interview on \'The Graham Norton Show\' that you shouldn\'t use tongues, but other than that I had no idea what I was doing.

"Anyway, we had a big laugh. I rang Danielle afterwards to say she made it so much easier for me."

As well as having a helping hand from Danielle during his first few weeks on the show, Dayle is also grateful that his on-screen dad Adam Woodyatt took time out to show him around the set and tell him about the Beale family.

Speaking to Inside Soap magazine, he added: "Adam Woodyatt, who plays my dad, Ian, was the first person I met - and I was completely star-struck.

"I was speaking to our casting director, Julia, and she said, \'I\'m going to call Adam up to say hello.\' And I was like, \'Oh my God, no you\'re not.\' Five minutes later, there he was.

"It was really nice, as Adam had finished filming early that day, but stayed on for a few hours just to give me a tour, speak to me about the Beale family, and to give me advice.
