The pair - who portray Callum Highway and Mitch Baker - will reunite with their co-star Danny Dyer, who hosts the programme, to answer tricky questions about the soap and try to win money for disadvantaged children around the UK on 'The Wall Versus EastEnders'.

Roger said: "It was great, it was really fun. I didn’t realise how big The Wall actually is. It’s a huge structure, it’s massive.

"It’s quite intimidating I must say. But yeah it was great, it was good fun."

Tony admitted it was "surreal" seeing Danny hosting a game show.

He said: "It was very, very enjoyable. It was made more enjoyable by the fact Danny was hosting it. It was a real surreal thing seeing him up there doing it, he really smashed it.

"It’s great to raise money for charity and to do something for BBC Children in Need. We always try and help out where we can.

"I’m really excited that we won some money for such an important charity."

The special will air as part of the annual appeal show on BBC One on Friday 13 November, a day before 'The Wall' returns for a new series.

Tony added: "BBC Children in Need has always been important to me.

"As actors are very privileged to be in this job, especially right now, so I think anything we can do to give back to people all around the UK is always important.

"For me, it’s something I’ve always watched growing up so it’s important I do my bit and help out."
