Lee MacDonald, who played Zammo in children’s TV show Grange Hill in the 1980s, told the BBC he has had an “absolute nightmare” following TSB’s IT glitches.

Mr MacDonald, a key cutter and locksmith, told Anna Foster on BBC Radio 5 live: “I’m having an absolute nightmare. I’ve got two accounts, both business accounts, with TSB.”

He continued: “My business has literally stopped. I don’t know what money’s coming in, I don’t know what money’s going out.

“It is unbelievable for a big company like that. I’m in absolute turmoil at the moment.”

He continued: “I’ve been ringing the online helpline and it goes to an engaged tone, so I can’t even speak to anybody at the other end of the phone…

“When you’re running a small business, every job counts and it’s just a nightmare.”
