Joe Swash was booted out of a hotel after a wild night.
The TV star was frog marched out of a hotel on the Greek island of Faliraki during the summer of 2000.
Joe, now 40, was scorned by furious hotel staff after he and a gaggle of mates set off a fire extinguisher in their hotel.
The scene was captured on ITV show 'Club Reps', where Joe was a holiday maker just three years before he would be given the role of Mickey Miller in EastEnders.
Bare chested and wearing sunglasss that Neo from The Matrix would have approved of, Joe piped up and asked the hotel staff: "Can I ask something please? How comes we're being kicked out now suddenly?"
Hotel resort manager Marie 'Maz' Slater, who was branded "Miss Nasty" at the time, told them: "The contract with Club 18-30 has been void.
"I want you to go to your rooms and pack your suitcases with immediate effect."
One of Joe's pals asked her where they would sleep, to which she replied: "I don't have to find you anywhere to stay. You're on the streets, as far as I'm concerned."
Trying to defuse the tension, Joe said: "We're sorry for what happened last night."
But Maz shot back: "No, I want you out."
Not making matters better, Joe turned up the Cockney charm and called Maz "treacle", to which she snapped: "Don't you dare call me treacle for a start!"
Luckily for Joe he soon found fame after he landed in Albert Square.
He then went on to be crowned king of the jungle in 2008's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here and is now happily engaged to Stacey Solomon.
Maz quit Club Reps after she was "devastated" by how she was portrayed.
She told Manchester Evening News in 2010 she thought the show would have been more like The Cruise with Jane McDonald.
"I was devastated when I saw how I was portrayed.
"I couldn't leave the house for three months after the show for fear of confrontation."
She sought help and underwent counselling before opening her own restaurant.
Joe and Stacey recently sparked rumours that they had already tied the knot after Joe was caught wearing a wedding band.
