EastEnders and Our Girl star Danny Hatchard has said he wants to “punch” people who don’t follow the social distancing guidelines.
Currently the UK is on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. People have been urged only to go out when it’s essential and keep a two metre distance from others.
Danny tweeted his frustrations yesterday (Sunday, March 26) after seeing his neighbours having a barbeque with people who don’t live in their home.
He wrote: “The neighbours have decided to invite their family over for a BBQ, they have a baby daughter… And here’s me sat indoors staying away from the people I love and miss, so [bleep] morons like that don’t get ill.”
He then tweeted saying he didn’t see why he isn’t allowed to punch people who don’t stay two metres away.
He said: “Also, if people don’t keep a two metre distance I don’t see why I can’t be allowed to punch them in the head. Surely it’s considered self defence…”
Fans agreed with Danny. One wrote: “I fully support this.”
A second said: “Totally justified.”
A third added: “I’m with you on this.”
