“Thanks to great crowd for sticking with us after 45 minutes of silence!”

Audience members also praised the cast and crew for their resilience.

One attendee wrote: “Was a scary moment for sure but dealt with as quickly as possibly, I hope the staff who dealt with it are ok too.”

Another added: “Was still a fab evening. The cast did a great job of getting everyone back in the flow which to be honest, I didn’t think would happen and wondered if we should leave.

“Best wishes to the poorly lady and her family.”

A third shared: “The show was class and we all just hope whoever the emergency was for is ok.”

The soap star left Waterloo Road in December after his character Steve Savage was arrested.

BBC bosses have already confirmed that he will be replaced by EastEnders actress Lindsey Coulson, who is taking over as the next headteacher of the Comprehensive School.
