EastEnders stars in bust-up with police at charity football match

EastEnders stars ended up on the wrong side of the law when their team shoved and pushed police officers in a charity football match. A six-a-side team from the soap took part in the charity bash at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge ground. But when one of the team slid in to tackle an officer and took his legs away it "all kicked off".

Members of both teams got rough before Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale, managed to calm things down. Later he apologised to the police. The EastEnders team included two other stars, Jake Wood (Max Branning) and Charlie Hawkins (Darren Miller). Three non-soap players were in the team and one of them is believed to have made the bad tackle.

A police source said: "It didn't get out of hand - it was more like handbags at three paces compared to what officers are used to on the streets of London."
