'EastEnders' stuntman hurt in pier plunge

An 'EastEnders' stuntman has been left in a critical condition after falling from a pier.

The 21-year-old action man - thought to be from Liverpool - was standing in for actor Neil McDermott (Ryan Malloy) when a violent gust of wind threw him off balance during a fight scene in which he discovers his younger sister, troubled teen Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), is a prostitute.
