It’s not just about the ‘massive’ storylines he’s filming at the moment as his character Johnny Carter.
No, there’s an extra ‘problem’ Ted is having to deal with.
“I have to use the best of my acting abilities to pretend I’m a West Ham fan! That’s the hardest part of the job!” explained the actor who joined the nation’s most-watched soap (averaging over seven millions viewers at the moment) in April.
In the show, Ted’s character is part of the Carter family with, of course, famed West Ham fan Danny Dyer as the head of the family and current landlord of the Queen Vic pub.
