The hit Tom Hardy drama MobLand has been rocked by a HUGE explosion as fire crews were called out to the set of the Guy Ritchie show.
Filming for the second series of the Paramount+ series, which launched last year with ten episodes, has been rolling on across the UK.
Police and fire crews were called out to one London filming location, as the crew filmed the final episode which features an impressive explosion.
The action sees leading man Tom, 48, who plays crime fixer Harry De Souza in the series, walking through a London warehouse armed with a shotgun.
The tense scene will then be rocked by the explosion, which caused a massive blaze to rip through the riverside venue, which was encased in fire and smoke.
Police and fire crews were called out to be on stand-by for the dramatic stunt, according to The Sun, at the warehouse in Newham, London.

The series is directed by Guy Ritchie
A stunned local told the outlet: 'We heard this massive bang and the whole sky lit up orange. For a second we thought something had gone terribly wrong – then we realised it was a film set.
'It was absolutely mental.'
It comes after Tom caught up with director Guy, 57, for a glass of wine at Dorian Restaurant in Notting Hill amid reports of 'extremely strained' relations with the cast.
The celebrity hotspot, which recently received a Michelin star, is favoured by the Beckhams amongst other A-listers.
The duo were in high spirits as they took a seat in a booth outside where they shared a bottle of wine.
Tom, who plays Harry Da Souza in the drama, wore a stylish leather jacket for the outing while Guy looked as smart as ever in a white polo top and braces.
The star-studded gritty series tells the story of warring crime families in London but a real-life personal battle is also said to be taking place between the stars.
Sources on the set of MobLand, the much-watched Paramount+ show, say that relations between Dame Helen Mirren and Tom have become ‘extremely strained’ as they film the second series.

The series first aired last year on Paramount+
The storyline remains under wraps, but Season 2 is expected to pick up in the immediate aftermath of the Season 1 finale's bloodshed.
The first season saw the Harrigans defeat the Stevenson family, headed by Richie (Geoff Bell), but ended on a cliffhanger with Harry being stabbed by his wife, Jan (Joanne Froggatt).
Harry had used solicitor O'Hara Delaney as a double agent to eliminate Richie's gang, and then he and Conrad’s eldest son, Kevin (Paddy Considine), killed Richie.
The synopsis for the show reads: 'Power is up for grabs as two warring crime families clash in a battle that threatens to topple empires.
'In the crossfire stands Harry Da Souza, a street-smart 'fixer' who knows too well where loyalties lie when opposing forces collide.'
The gangster drama launched on Paramount+ in April and immediately impressed fans.
Consisting of ten episodes, the series has received a respectable 78 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and many viewers have shared positive verdicts.
One fan posted on X: 'Just watched Episode 1 of #Mobland. I love everything Guy Ritchie, having Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan & Helen Mirren in the mix is such a deal sweetener.
'The show has so much potential, like I’m already sold with just one episode. Yes, yes, yes!'
'Tom Hardy, Paddy Considine, Helen Mirren and loads more. Looks like a good series.'; 'Tom Hardy in a mob series, sign me up!'
'I just watched the first episode of #Mobland streaming on Paramount+, think it’s going to be a great series.'; '#Mobland is a series I can watch all day, every day.'
However, not everyone has been impressed by the gangster drama, and one said: '#Mobland ep 1 was not good, the cliché plot the bad accent.'
MobLand series one is available to stream on Paramount+ now
