After EastEnders' live 40th anniversary episode, actor Adam Woodyatt, known for his role as Ian Beale, faced a chaotic scene as he attempted to leave the Elstree Studios afterparty with co-star Jessie Wallace. Surrounded by eager fans, Adam reportedly exited the car and urged the crowd to clear the road for safety, which some witnesses interpreted as him shouting at them.
