Plan B: I Almost Got Beaten Up Filming New Film Ill Manors

Plan B has revealed he came close to being beaten up while filming his new movie in East London.

The singer, whose real name is Ben Drew, was on the set of Ill Manors when an incident occurred involving a nearby gang.

“One of our actors accidentally bumped into one of these kids and they just lost it,” Drew told The Sun. “I was so close to kicking off but I knew I couldn't.

"I knew it could end up messy. I've had my head kicked in before - a lot of times - so I was ready for it.”

Ill Manors marks Drew's directorial debut and tells the story of his own rough upbringing in the East End.
