Just before Nick Berry joined the cast of EastEnders, he fractured his skull in a car crash but went on to make a full recovery. There aren’t many details about the accident on the internet.
Berry took a break from EastEnders to tour and make an album from which the number one single, Every Loser Wins came in 1986. The song was heavily featured within EastEnders in a plotline referred to as The Banned in which the youths of Albert Square formed a pop group and performed vocals on screen.
Berry returned to EastEnders after his musical career stalled but left again in an 0pen-to-return storyline aired in December 1990.
Berry retired from acting and ran his own production company called Valentine Productions. Berry resigned from the company in October 2019.
