EASTENDERS heart-throb Michael Greco has been quizzed by police after
claims that three men were overheard plotting to harm him.
It is alleged the villains went looking for Michael – who plays Beppe
Di Marco – at the Directors pub, Boreham Wood Herts, where the soap’s
Christmas special was filmed last week.
After driving ot the pub in a dark-coloured Mercedes, they showed
pictures of Michael, 30, to drinkers and asked them where he was.
They were then overhead by one regular threatening to harm the actor.
A 23-year-old man, who asked not to be named, told the Sunday Mirror:
“They said that they would break his legs.”
A Hertfordshire police spokesman said: “We have been made aware of
allegations surrounding a well-known actor and have made investigations
including speaking to him.”
The star was beaten up in the street by a gang on thugs on Christmas
Day last year.
