EastEnders’ James Farrar says people refused to touch his hand during HIV storyline
EastEnders star James Farrar left The One Show presenter Alex Jones and Ronan Keating in shock as he admitted that members of the public have "refused" to shake his hand due to his character's HIV storyline.
Speaking on the misconceptions of the disease, he said: "It's storytelling at its best. You'll see the Walford residents on Monday – it's a similar reaction to what Peggy Mitchell, Barbara Windsor had, which was you're not coming in my pub because I don't wanna catch this. Viewers also made their comments know about James' comments, as they flocked to social media. "Lovely to see @JamesFarrar_on the one show talking passionately about how important it is to change perceptions towards HIV. Sad to hear people joking IRL about not wanting to shake hands in case they catch it - shows how it does need a light shining on it still," one person commented.
