Tony Discipline quits acting to become fireman

Tony Discipline has quit acting to become a fireman.

The former \'EastEnders\' actor - who played Tyler Moon on the BBC One soap from 2011 to 2013 - has swapped chatting up the women of Walford for blasting blazes.

He shared a picture of himself in his fire gear back in March, as he wished his mum a happy Mother\'s Day, but many thought he was in his uniform for a new role.

The 31-year-old star wrote: "Happy Mother\'s Day mama. My world my mate and the biggest party animal I know. love you all the world girl (sic)"

One follower posted: "I didn\'t know you were a fireman. Is that your job between acting? Or is it an upcoming role we don\'t know about? (sic)"

Another wrote: "I didn\'t know u were a firefighter?!? (sic)"

Earlier this month, Tony shared a picture of himself in his London Fire Brigade uniform while standing in front of one of their engines.

While he didn\'t explain the picture, a number of his followers congratulated him on the job.

One wrote: "Well done mate"

Another posted: "congratulations on the job you\'ll do great (sic)"

Tony\'s former \'EastEnders\' co-star James Forde - who played Liam Butcher on the soap, but is now a builder - also congratulated the star on the role.

He wrote: "Fair play geeza good on ya!

"We\'ve both gone back down to reality! (sic)"

But one of Tony\'s Instagram followers jokingly asked if 80s and 90s TV drama series \'London\'s Burning\' is back.

He replied: "Not that I know of."
