ACTOR Shaun Williamson, A.K.A Barry from Eastenders, is a man of many talents.

He can act, he can sing and if his stint on Ricky Gervais’ series Extras is anything to go by, he’s funny too.

But it was news to us that he used his vocal talents to entertain the President and First Family on inauguration day.

After further investigation however, it becomes apparent that he didn't.

Those clever tech guys down at Channel 4 created the hilarious clip of Barry performing to Donald and co. as an internet gag.

In the edited clip Shaun is seen singing his heart out to classic song Something Inside So Strong in front of the new First Family.

The jokes don’t end there are the caption on the screen reads: “Barry appears on British documentary ‘Eastenders’”.

Current Eastenders star Jake Wood added fuel to the rumour mill be tweeting the video clip with the caption: “Beautiful from @ShaunWilliamson singing at Trumps inauguration.”

The fake video is made from a clip of Shaun singing at the World Indoor Bowls Championships in Great Yarmouth in 2014.
