EastEndersโ Star Laila Morse Jokes About Physical Assault During โAntiques Road Trip Negotiation
Laila โMorse, 80, known for her role in the BBC soap โ EastEnders, playfully threatened violence while filming an โepisode of antiques Road Trip, revealing a competitiveโค edge โduring a negotiation with a โvendor. The incident โขoccurred as morseโ and co-star Angusโ Imrie attemptedโ to secure a discount on an โฃitem priced at ยฃ110.
The exchange, captured during filming, saw Morse suggest kicking the seller “in the shins” after Imrie proposed negotiatingโข a lower price. Imrie responded with โคmockโ concern, feigning injury,โ before Morse offered โa โmore โconventional approach: asking for โคthe itemโ for ยฃ50.
