EastEnders viewers spot rat blunder

The rodent was “taking part” in a scene which saw Honey Mitchell gabbing about rats invading Albert Square.

EastEnders is filmed at Elstree Studios, in Borehamwood.

As she chased one out of the Minute Mart with a broom, a hand (presumably belonging to the rat’s handler) could be seen giving the creature some direction.

On Twitter, fans saw the funny side of the hilarious slip, and started posting screengrabs of the gaffe.
