Waterloo Road bosses have reportedly sacked Paul Nicholls from the drama, after he spent only three days filming.

The former ‘EastEnders’ actor was announced as having landed the role of PE teacher Jez Diamond in the BBC One school drama last month, but reportedly behaved ‘erratically’ while working with fellow cast members and of the three days he turned up, on two he was said to be substantially late.

A source said: “Paul is a lovely guy but he is in a dark place at the moment. We let him go because it wasn’t working out and hopefully some time off now will give Paul the opportunity to sort himself out.”

Another insider added told The Mirror: “His behaviour on set was very odd. People felt uncomfortable around him. It was clear Paul was having some personal problems.”

Sources close to the actor claim that he was recently bereaved and is devastated by the death of his grandfather, to whom he was very close.

It has been reported that producers have now replaced the 32-year-old star – who has admitted to having drink and drug problems in the past – with ‘The Bill’ star Alex Walkinshaw and will reshoot all of his scenes later this week.

A BBC spokesman said: “Paul Nicholls has left ‘Waterloo Road’. The show producers, Shed Productions, said the actor’s decision was for personal reasons, following a recent family bereavement.”

Paul has recently starred in Candy Cabs on BBC One and Secret Diary Of A Call Girl on ITV2.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.Using an electric mix, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy – this will take around 2 to 3 minutes.  Mix in the grated zest of the oranges and lemons.  Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time.Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions and the milk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixtur...
