Former Bexley resident and James Bond actor Sir Roger Moore has described how an accident on set once left him with a burning bottom.

The actor told BBC Radio 4 the mis-timed explosion happened during the filming of The Spy Who Loved Me in 1977, adding: "I was seriously on fire and it was terrible pain.

“I had to go to the sister every day and have Vaseline dressings changed on my rear end."

Director John Glen said: "At a certain time the special-effects man was to make the explosion. But he mistimed it and it finished up with Roger running around the set with his trousers alight."
