Shane was seen creating a mock scene which he wrote on the chalkboard during the acting class with Olympian Mo.

In the session Mo was seen holding Shane’s chin as he told him to ‘get the medals ’cause we’re gonna melt them down and make some new earrings for Bat Putcher.’
Shane and Mo couldn’t stop laughing as they continued to try and act, but their composure was completely gone after Mo’s gaffe.

Mo followed the soap star around the campfire as he perfected his walk and accent, yelling lines like, ‘Alfie, this is my manor!’
Shane said: ‘He’s moving along nicely with the East End accent. I reckon if we’re here for another couple of days, he could be a new reg in the Queen Vic.’
