EastEnders’ Brian Conley gets 'called every name under the sun' by cast extra
EastEnders star Brian Conley revealed an adorable cast extra has to be removed from the set for swearing.
Brian, who plays Tom 'Rocky' Cotton, explained how he's been having issues with his character's potty-mouthed parrot Jasper.
The parrot spends so much time swearing that the crew has to remove the bird from scenes sometimes.
"It’s been well documented that it does swear a lot," Brian, 61, explained.
"Just between us, we brought this parrot on and I said to the director, 'Is it going to make a lot of noise?'

At the end of March, she spoke about her return to the show and said to Lorraine Kelly: "She's strong, she's feisty, I think she's there to stir things up."
The ITV presenter asked about Vicki's long-term future on the BBC soap to which she admitted she "hoped" she returned.
