Danny Dyer Will Deliver Channel 4's Alternative Christmas Message


Danny Dyer

It’s good will and glad tidings to all geezers this festive season, as Danny Dyer has been named as the celebrity delivering Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message.

The 41 year old ‘EastEnders’ star, who went viral earlier this year when he legendarily described former Prime Minister David Cameron as a “tw*t” during a rant about Brexit on ITV’s World Cup special ‘Good Evening Britain’ in the summer, will front Channel 4’s long-standing alternative to the Queen’s Christmas message this year.

“That shambles down in Westminster, what a palaver,” he complains in the teaser trailer for his speech. “Where are our leaders? There's been more backstabbing than we have in Albert Square.”

Danny Dyer To Present New BBC History Show


Danny Dyer

In a headline that feels like it belongs on April Fool’s Day, the BBC has revealed that it’s roped in Danny Dyer to front a new history show on BBC One.

The ‘EastEnders’ actor has been given a mandate to “inject fun” into the network’s factual programming, and will front BBC One’s ‘Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family’ next year. The corporation is attempting to combat the rise of “event television” and muscle in alongside streaming rivals like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Dyer, whose daughter Dani won the 2018 edition of ‘Love Island’ this summer, discovered a few years ago he has blood ties to William the Conqueror and Edward III, as well as Thomas Cromwell, after delving into his ancestry on BBC history series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’

Danny Dyer Lays Into Brexit And David Cameron With Memorable Tirade On 'Good Evening Britain'


Danny Dyer Piers Morgan

In an already classically bizarre piece of British television last night that involved Piers Morgan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, it was Danny Dyer who ended up stealing the show on ‘Good Evening Britain’ with a four-letter Brexit tirade against former prime minister David Cameron.

The ‘EastEnders’ actor, always one to be forthright in his words, was one of the guests on ‘Good Evening Britain’, a special one-off World Cup edition of ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ that followed England’s final group game against Belgium on Thursday night (June 28th).

As well as people commenting on the football, there were a plethora of politicians, such as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and ex-shadow chancellor Ed Balls as well as former ‘Baywatch’ star Pamela Anderson (because why not?) and the discussion inevitably turned to Brexit. Asked for his thoughts on the struggling on-going negotiations, Dyer was typically outspoken.

It may be a vehicle for a great deal of British acting talent, but ‘Game of Thrones’ is apparently unwilling to accommodate Danny Dyer. The ‘Eastenders’ star has apparently auditioned for the HBO smash series on three separate occasions, only to be rejected.

Dyer revealed during a recording of ITV’s ‘Jonathan Ross Show’ “I’ve been up for it three times, I got three knockbacks”. Dame Diana Rigg, another guest on Ross’ show and who plays Lady Olenna Tyrell in ‘Game of Thrones’, said “I’ll put in a word for you as long as you lose the cockney accent.”
