During Saturday's episode of the BBC comedy gameshow, hosted by Bradley Walsh, EastEnders' actress Natalie Cassidy jokingly called Bruno a "liar".

As Bradley introduced the celebrity guests on the show, he asked them if they had "worked together before" or "knew each other" when Bruno quickly responded: "I know something!"

He went on to explain that he had worked with TV personality Sara Davies saying she's "practically a prima ballerina, she has the best posture".

Natalie was quick to hit back at this as she jokingly chimed in: "You didn't say that about me when I did it."
