Latham, 29 who plays the evil pimp was snapped filming the dramatic scenes in the seaside town alongside Shona as the dramatic prostitution storyline comes to a close with Rob having angry words with Whitney after her protective older half-brother Ryan Malloy (Neil Mc Dermott) confronts the pimp after finding out what happened to his little sister.

In a tense confrontation, Rob is seen leaning over Whitney reducing the poor girl to tears. After the confrontation, Ryan tracks down Rob leading to a tense stand-off at the pier as Ryan squares up to the evil man who took advantage of Whitney.

However, the scenes quickly went pear-shaped after a stunt man for Ryan was dramatically swept off the pier by the strong winds hitting his head off the rocks. A source told the Daily Mirror: ”The two come to blows but the scene went wrong and one of them fell off. I heard one of the paramedics say that he was moving, but it looked like a very serious incident.”

A spokesperson for the BBC later said: ”We can confirm that a stuntman was injured. We all wish him a speedy recovery.” Also spotted filming at the seaside location was Ricky Norwood, who plays Arthur ”Fatboy” Chub  who was spotted at a funfair alongside Shona (Whitney Dean).
