Soap star ‘unable to rewatch’ episode with fluffed lines

EastEnders star Jo Joyner has admitted she has not been able to watch back the live episode in which she fluffed her lines — despite legions of her loyal fans posting clips of the scene to her Twitter account.

Joyner, who plays Tanya Branning in the long-running soap, caused confusion on set and in homes across the country when she mixed up the name of a character with the actor playing him.

In the scene, as tension built to discover who killed Lucy Beale, Joyner’s character asked Jane Beale “How’s Adam?”, accidentally referring to actor Adam Woodyatt rather than his long-running character Ian Beale.
