Avon and Somerset police are said to have turned up on set to arrest the bricklayer-turned-actor soon after filming scenes An actor was arrested on the set of Disney's Rivals in front of cast and crew just an hour after filming with Danny Dyer, it has been reported. Police are said to have arrived on set to arrest Nigel Adams who was working as an extra on the hit show. The incident allegedly took place in front of shocked cast members and while Adams was still in costume due to filming scenes just moment beforehand. The 45-year-old was filming a polo scene alongside acting legend Danny Dyer for the second series of the programme. However, it was reportedly just an hour later that police cars turned up and Adams was driven away before spending two nights in police custody. He then appeared in court on Friday as he was accused of assaulting an ex-girlfriend. The Sun reported that a source said: "It was very dramatic. Everyone was in their costumes and Danny was filming this polo scene when an hour later police suddenly turned up to arrest one of the extras. It was shocking." The assault is reported to have happened at a house in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. Police were allegedly called to the address at 2am on May 31 of this year. Adams was said to be questioned about the assault once he was arrested. Avon and Someset police are thought to have been tipped off that the bricklayer-turned-actor was working on the Rivals set at the time. A friend said that he will be "gutted" as the arrest could mark the end of his acting career. They said: "He'll be gutted because it could end his TV career, something he really loves doing. "He's a bricklayer by trade but he's been doing more and more TV work, he's been in loads of stuff. Whenever he's in the background of a show he gets all his family and friends to watch it." Adams has quite a few acting roles under his belt already which include House of the Dragon, The Forsyte Saga and 2022 movie Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher. Adams appeared at Bristol magistrates' court on Friday charged with assault causing actual bodily harm. No plea was made by him and he was given conditional bail until he returns to the city's crown court on July 7. Production company Happy Prince, which makes the drama Rivals, told The Sun: "On the 4th June, the police visited the set regarding an unrelated matter involving a supporting artist. "Production co-operated with the police. We do not have any further information as it is not connected to Rivals or to our production."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recreate famous Princess Diana moment during their Disneyland trip with Archie and Lilibet
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sweetly echoed Princess Diana during their recent family trip to Disneyland as they recreated an iconic photo. On Friday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, uploaded a new Instagram post that included special moments from their visit to the Happiest Place on Earth to celebrate their daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday. It came just days after she sparked controversy over a throwback clip of herself twerking in a hospital room ahead of Lillibet's birth. Markle shared a video montage on Friday from the two-day Disneyland vacation as the family had a blast on numerous rides and indulged in yummy treats. In one photo shared from the visit, the family appeared to be enjoying a ride on the updated Splash Mountain ride, now known as Tiana's Bayou Adventure, with Harry sat at the back, Meghan at the front, and Archie, seven, and Lili sandwiched between them. The adorable family moment echoed a snap of Princess Diana with Harry and his older brother Prince William from a visit to Thorpe Park in April 1993, as they were pictured laughing together after getting splashed by the water ride. The picture has become one of the most famous of the late princess and her two sons. Diana had also visited Disneyland with an eight-year-old Harry earlier that year - and were again pictured giggling as they rode Splash Mountain. They were given a ride on Splash Mountain and were escorted through Disney's secret tunnels for VIPs - with the visit coming just months after her separation from Charles. And now Prince Harry appears to be recreating the memories with Meghan and their two children. The Duchess has frequently channelled her mother-in-law, whom she never got to meet, over the years, even wearing her identical distinctive purple sweatshirt from Northwestern University for an Instagram video back in February. Meanwhile, in her caption, Meghan penned to her 3.6 million followers: 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!,' with Peggy Lee's It's A Good Day playing in the background. Another snippet showed both Lillibet and their son Archie having the chance to meet Disney princess Elsa from Frozen. Meghan held her children's hands as they slowly walked over to take pictures with the character in a sweet moment. Meghan and Harry's kids also had fun on some rides at the amusement park such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and the Cars ride. The couple - who tied the knot in 2018 - were spotted having a blast of their own as they sat at the front while on Space Mountain together. Princess Diana and Harry at Thorpe Park (left), and Meghan on Space Mountain (right) One short reel included in the post was taken as the family-of-four excitedly explored Disneyland and also visited the Star Wars troopers. Harry flashed a cheerful smile as he turned towards the camera while sitting next to Lillibet on another ride. At one point, Markle and her family were also seen sporting matching Mickey and Minnie Mouse hats on top of their heads. They later built up an appetite and one picture was taken to show a pile of corndogs and pickles on a table. Lillibet also received a Little Mermaid-themed cake that was covered in hues of blue sugary frosting while 'Happy Birthday Lili' was written in pink icing. The Instagram post also had a sweet family photo as they posed outside with a small river behind them. Earlier this week on Wednesday, Markle jumped to her main Instagram page to share a rare photo of herself with daughter Lillibet to celebrate her birthday which took place on June 4. In the black and white image, the actress could be seen holding her daughter as they enjoyed a boat ride on the water. She also wrote, 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day!' In a separate post, Meghan uploaded a snap of her husband Harry gently holding Lillibet when she was a newborn. Another picture was taken a couple years later as the pair ran along a dirt path at a scenic tropical location. 'The sweetest bond to watch unfold. Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!' Meghan typed out. She also shared a throwback reel of herself twerking to help induce labor ahead of Lillibet's birth - and the clip went viral this week. Meghan could be seen wearing a black dress as she showed off dance moves along with Prince Harry. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' she began to explain in the caption. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!' Meghan and Prince Harry reside in a Montecito home with Archie and Lillibet - and the Suits alum has previously opened up about their family life. During an interview with People a few months earlier in March, Markle reflected on how they go about each day with 'normalcy.' 'Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,' she explained to the outlet. 'We go to a lot of dinners, and not just in people's homes or private rooms; we just go into the restaurant. I really love that we can just have fun.' She has been keeping busy and back in March, her Netflix series With Love, Meghan premiered and has also been renewed for a second season. Later this month, Markle will also make an appearance at the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County's Night of Wonder event on Saturday, June 14. It is not known if Prince Harry will also attend with Meghan - but the ball will take place on the same day as Trooping the Colour in the U.K.

'"We just really want to protect it, It's really delicate. The fabric, we got to take care of it." So I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year.'
