Source: Visit websiteEastEnders ' £87 million set in Hertfordshire has reportedly been invaded by rodents. The BBC is said to have called in pest control after rats were suspected of nesting in the show's prop room floor, allegedly feasting on props before specialists intervened.
Despite this, the broadcaster has denied any "infestation", admitting only to occasional unwelcome visitors at the location, which required professional help.
A report from pest control, as per The Sun , stated: "Attended site for call-out due to reported rat activity in the EastEnders prop store mezzanine floor. A thorough visual inspection was carried out showing chewed products/nesting material."
An insider told the publication: " EastEnders has always tried to represent London and that's become a little too true with an outbreak of rats. No one wants to see rodents at work and they have been causing a headache by chewing props and leaving droppings everywhere."

However, it seems patrons of Walford's pub would be none the wiser, as the rodents hadn't infiltrated that set, reports the Mirror . The source added: "Thankfully none have made it into the Queen Vic - yet."
EastEnders has firmly refuted rumours of a "rat infestation" on the set of Albert Square, although they've admitted to occasionally enlisting "specialists" for unexpected rodent visitors.
An EastEnders spokesperson clarified the situation: "There is no rat infestation at EastEnders but on the odd occasion, if we have suspected an unauthorised visit from a furry visitor, we have called in the specialists."
