Danny Dyer's 32 best quotes, from Brexit jibes to moaning about ducks

What's the secret to Danny Dyer's success?

Over the last decade, the UFO believer has gone from playing cockney geezers in straight-to-DVD misfires (Jack Said, Basement, Malice in Wonderland) to being a wise-cracking national treasure with a primetime BBC history show.

Joining the cast of Eastenders in 2013 was arguably the biggest turning point for Dyer, but there was something else the 41-year-old Brit did a year before that had everyone talking: he joined Twitter.

The social media platform proved the perfect place for the straight-talking, no-nonsense British blokey-bloke to speak his mind, offering the world a daily 140-character length look into his mind.

Dyer has only gone from strength to strength since, appearing on talk shows, delivering Channel 4's alternative Christmas speech, and giving two excellent acceptance speeches at the National Television Awards.

Below are 32 of his best quotes from the last decade.
