Leo Gregory has a minor role while there were cameos from Danny Dyer,[1] Tamer Hassan, Craig Fairbrass and Tony Denham,[2] who feature in one scene each, while there was also a cameo from former hooligan and inspiration behind the film Cass, Cass Pennant. Former West Ham United footballer Julian Dicks,[3] The Only Way Is Essex personality Chloe Sims and Hollyoaks actor Charlie Clapham also make minor appearances. Dexter Fletcher also filmed a scene but it was cut from the final take.[4]

Cast
  • AJ Makin as The Screw
gollark: I guess I could take a random ER AP egg, put it in all the hatcheries, and autorefresh it stupidly fast, but that'd still not do 1 second.
gollark: That's not player base. That's player activity.
gollark: You mean you *could* hatch an egg in 1 second by ignoring it?
gollark: I don't think sickness *increases* the player base as such.
gollark: I just use an adblocker. No money for you. Though for some reason I still get the "unadblock" banner.
