Ashley Walters has opened up on the most embarrassing moment after once mishearing a waiter in restaurant.
Known for his on-screen role as Dushane Hill in Top Boy, the 41-year-old featured on this week's episode of The Graham Norton Show on Friday (6 October), alongside Bernie Taupin, Catherine Tate and Bill Bailey.
Take a look below as Walters recalls a hilarious exchange he once had in a restaurant:

Whilst sat on the BBC sofa, Walters revealed that he is always refereed to by fans as his Top Boy character name Dushane.
But for those who don't know what I'm on about, Toy Boy is a series that delves deep into the dangerous world of drug dealing and the lives of those who live in the fictional East London estate of Summerhouse.
Last month, the long awaited Top Boy: The Final Chapter became available to stream on Netflix, as the official synopsis for the latest and last season read: "Sully’s (Kane Robinson) actions at the end of the last series have rewritten his business rules with Dushane.
"As new shared problems arise, everything they've built comes under threat from forces outside and within their empire.
"Can they coexist by the rules of the road they’ve lived by their whole lives in a world that is changing before them? Or can there only be one TOP BOY?"
However, off-screen, Walters has proved to be just a normal bloke, who occasionally mishears waiters at restaurants.
Recalling the story, he told the audience: "I was in a restaurant with my two girls and the waiter came over and said 'card or cash'.
"And I thought he said 'Wagwarn, Ash'.
"So he had his hand out to get the bill paid and I kind of gave him a fist pump."
Elsewhere on the show, Catherine Tate shared the most ‘dreadful’ incident possible.
"I've just remembered the most dreadful time when I was recognised,” she spilled.
"When my show first came out I went to have a smear test.
"And while I was getting my smear, and I don't know how she made the connection, she realised it was me...and started laughing. And I'm just hearing [laughter] as I've got my legs in stirrups.
"And I was like 'Is everything alright?'. And she was like [stifles laughter sound], ‘is my vagina bovvered?’”
She then joked: "I mean, not really."
I bet Walters felt a lot better about his restaurant experience after hearing that.
