EastEnders legend Shaun Williamson 'lets himself down' during filming for Al Murray show
Shaun is also now back in touch with his long-lost son, Gary, after over two decades apart, and explained the real reason he stayed away for so many years was out of “respect” for him.
He divulged: “I had finished with her [Gary’s mum], this is before I knew she was pregnant, I didn’t know [she was expecting] until three months later.
“So I didn’t abandon her, and by that time I had arranged to go to America because I had worked at American summer camps.
“I said, ‘Look I’ll do what I can to help, but I’m going to America unfortunately’. Then when I got back she had got together with another guy, so they decided to bring Gary up as their own,” he added.
