Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt is bombarded daily with ‘I’ve got nothing left’ memes

EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt spoke to Stacey Dooley on Secrets With The Square on Monday night.

He was joined by his co star Letitia Dean, who plays Sharon Watts, and the duo discussed behind-the-scenes secrets and watched their most iconic moments from their time of the show.

One of these was Ian Beale's "I've got nothing left" scene with Phil Mitchell, when he sobbed in Phil's arms.

Ian's daughter Lucy Beale had just been murdered, and Ian was heartbroken.

The heart wrenching scene has now become a meme and a popular reaction picture on social media, with t-shirts of the scene even being made.

Adam revealed he was sent pictures of that scene every single day as people created different memes of it.

Watching the scene back, Adam commented: "How many chins?" referring to himself.

"You look like Jim Davidson," remarked Letitia.

Adam added: "I must get sent that clip three times a day if not more.

"That gets so taken out of context now, it gets used for everything, for 'I've run out of toilet paper'."

"It's turned into a meme, that means you've made it," joked Stacey.

The actors also hinted at what's in store for their characters' friendship, as Ian is secretly responsible for Sharon's son Dennis' death, and she has no idea yet.

Letitia replied: "I think she will be absolutely devastated."

Stacey asked if this is "one hurdle they can't get over", and Letitia agreed it would be.

"Or does Ian manage to worm his way out of it by justifying it in some way or spinning another lie?" teased Adam.

He also revealed the pandemic could affect Ian's purchase of the pub as the scripts will reflect real life.

He said: "There is probably going to be financial ramifications with lockdown, any money Ian thought he had to buy the Vic, he's not going to have much of going forward.

"I have had that hinted at, there's so much uncertainty, we don't know."

EastEnders airs Secrets From The Square on Mondays at 8pm, and classic episodes on Tuesdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
