Anna Maxwell-Martin has revealed her weird food phobia which she has to beg other actors to keep away from set.
The Line Of Duty star, 47, can’t bear to be around sandwiches, mayonnaise – and even open fridges.
She has blamed the food phobia on being ‘sick, sick, sick as a dog’ during her pregnancies with her two daughters, as well as her exacting standards for fridges which mean she can rule out an entire hotel room if the fridge gives her the ick.
‘If I’m on a set and sandwiches are brought on — it’s hard for me to even say that word — I’d have to say “Get that out”,’ Anna admitted to The Sun of her sandwich fear.
‘Sorry other actors, you’re not eating. Or if you want to eat, step outside – but not in here.’

She added: ‘I was on a train yesterday with sandwiches and it was a nightmare.’
Anna underwent a striking new look in David Mitchell‘s new BBC comedy Ludwig.
She is starring in the comedy as Lucy Betts-Taylor, alongside David himself and a very familiar face Rose Ayling-Ellis.
Strictly Come Dancing champion and former EastEnders star Rose, 29, will be making an appearance as Freya Chordwell in the new series.
Rose looked completely unrecognisable as she slipped into a long-sleeve blue blazer and polka dot dress.
Meanwhile Motherland star Anna swapped her blonde locks for a short brunette bob with minimal makeup.
David’s character John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor sees his life turn 360 degrees when his identical brother, James, disappears without a trace.
Ludwig takes matters into his own hands and takes over his brother’s identity in a quest to find out his whereabouts.
