The organiser came up to me, saying, Youre spending too much time with the kids, we need to get them through as quickly as possible.

By this point, I was visibly angry. I was like, now theres going to be a lot of disappointed kids.

The actor said he finally managed to get a lunch break, deciding to spend it sitting in his car staring at the floor trying to avoid the sight of crying children being turned away by security.

When I came back, thats when everything kicked off, he explained. There was an angry mob at the door not being let in. I had to wedge my way through.

I was Wonka and its my face everywhere. But I am just a last-minute actor, really, I didnt organise anything.

People were shouting, people who put on the event were crying. There were arguments, people running around everywhere the set had been trashed.

He called another huddle of the two other Willy Wonkas and the nearest Oompa Loompas, adding: We decided to just walk away.

It was actually getting quite dangerous for us. But it was heartbreaking, to be honest.

There were kids in costume better than ours, crying. I used to be a teacher and that was triggering for me.

One thing I want to make clear is everyone has been so nice to the actors in person and on the day, the people who were there understand we did our best.
