Inbetweeners star Blake Harrison has revealed that he regularly gets demands from fans to perform his 'Neil dance routine' in various awkward and embarrassing places.
Speaking to Digital Spy, the comedy actor said that he had once been challenged to "do the dance" by a gang of Millwall Fc fans.
"I went to Wembley and I was walking up Wembley and I heard, 'Oi, Neil do the dance!'," said Harrison.
"And it suddenly turns into a chant. 'Do the Dance! Do the Dance! Do the Dance!' It's all meant in a lovely way... but no, I didn't do it."
Harrison said that he remains hugely grateful to the dedicated Inbetweeners fanbase, even when they have interrupted his evenings out.
"Sometimes you're out on a night with the girlfriend and drunk people want a hug or a photo," he said.
"But it's always a compliment. It's meant in a lovely way.

Blake Harrison has admitted that he feared the worst when he heard a rumour that the second Inbetweeners movie would feature one of the four lead characters being killed off.
Harrison, who played Neil in the hit E4 TV show and movie, told Digital Spy that he presumed he was the person getting the chop because he hadn't heard anything about the new film.
"I heard it was going to be based around one of the main character's funerals and after not hearing anything about it for a while, I was like, 'Oh well, that's probably me then!'" said Harrison.
The Inbetweeners sequel is confirmed to open in UK cinemas in August 2014. However, Harrison insisted that early speculation about the plot shouldn't be taken seriously.
"The press always seem to say stuff about it but it was only a few months back that it was going to be Neil's stag do,...

It's got that lad from The Inbetweeners. That woman from Men Behaving Badly. And that chap from The Vicar of Dibley and loads of other things. Oh, and also that stand-up comic with really, really big hair.
You'll probably agree with us that Comedy Central's new original commission sitcom Big Bad World has some serious pedigree behind it, and because of that we're offering an exciting exclusive to our readers.
If you want to watch the show before anyone else, come back to Digital Spy on Monday, August 19 when we will have the first episode available to view in full. For free.
It doesn't even air on TV until two days later. We think you'll agree that's a pretty good deal.
