A BARBER is considering taking the BBC to court for naming the hairdresser in EastEnders, 'Blade Barbers.'

Jason Mills, 38, who has run Blade Barbers on Barnsley Road, Cudworth for four years says the show's shop is having a negative effect on his business.

He said: "I've spoken with a solicitor and he said I have a fighting chance."

Jason said in the first week of the fictional hairdresser opening on EastEnders, he had up to 40 customers comment.

"People were saying the one on the show is used for drug dealing. I don't want to be associated with anything to do with drugs."
