The 32-year-old actor shared his frustration on Instagram Stories, questioning the reason behind the ban and criticising the behaviour of the staff. In view of his 137,000 followers, Hatchard wrote: "@whittletaps can you please tell me why, after socialising in your establishment after every show @everymanchelt with the cast, I am now not allowed in?" He continued, "This employee has just attempted to embarrass me in front of the cast and a tonne of people who've just come to watch the show.
"Apparently, due to a confrontation with a very rude doorman at The Copa (across the road) last week where several of my cast and creatives were present and witnessed the whole thing... Apparently, (according to this guy) you're the same venue...

Danny who bid farewell to EastEnders in 2017, is currently a part of the touring cast of The Full Monty 2023 tour. He shares the stage with Jake Quickenden, stepping into the shoes of Gaz, a character originally portrayed by Robert Carlyle in the acclaimed film. The film version is also undergoing a remake, with filming already in progress. The tour, which commenced in Cheltenham, concluded over the weekend. However, the celebrations were abruptly cut short due to an unfortunate incident at the pub.

Despite being widely recognised for his stint on Albert Square, the actor is no stranger to the theatre. His performances include a role in Eyes Closed Ears Covered - a performance that earned him a nomination for an Off West End Theatre Award, and a remarkable portrayal in Oliver Twist at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre.
He was candid about his disappointment when he had to leave EastEnders after just two years, learning that he would be exiting the soap the following year. During his time in Walford, he tackled powerful and sensitive storylines including clinical depression leading to his discharge from the Army, struggles with alcohol abuse, and guilt after a pregnant Stacey Slater was electrocuted by a faulty socket that he failed to repair.
