Former EastEnders star Ross Kemp has issued a stark warning about wasps - after a number of them stung his face.
The TV hardman looked unrecognisable as he shared footage of the aftermath of his nasty run-in with the critters.
"I look like Mick Jagger, don't I?" he asked fans, while showing off ointment smeared over his engorged lip.
"Well, that's what happens when you get stung by about three of four wasps in the nasal and lip area.
"Be careful with those critters. Don't go upsetting them by opening up a log space without asking their permission first."
He followed up with an update from the hospital, where he heaped praised the care he received from NHS doctors and nurses.
"Now being seen by our fantastic NHS," he told, "A very cool doctor's just given me hydrocortisone, hopefully that's gonna bring it down a bit..."
Ross appeared as Grant Mitchell on Albert Square for more than 25 years, acting across from onscreen mum Barbara Windsor.
The two have remained close over the years - with Ross telling of his heartbreak amid Barbara's Alzheimer's diagnosis.
The 82 year old was diagnosed six years ago, with husband Scott taking on her primary care.
Recently, however, he elected to move her into a residential care home.
Appearing on a video call to Good Morning Britain, Ross told: "The nature of the disease is that she knew exactly who I was, and then three minutes, she turned to me and asked who I was.
"She looks at these pictures of her, her in hr heyday on the wall, fantastic pictures of her incredible career and she goes, 'Who's that lady?'"
Ross added: "It's heartbreaking."
He made a two-part documentary on the subject of dementia, and while Barbara doesn't appear, husband Scott speaks openly about his experience of caring for someone with the condition.
Scott tells Ross during the series that having to put Barbara into care was "the thing I've always feared."
The dutiful husband told The Sun : "I have been used to the hustle and bustle in this little space, then suddenly, silence...all you can hear are your thoughts, and that's not always healthy."
