Danny Dyer’s daughter Dani defends EastEnders star over ‘stupid lies’

Danny Dyer’s daughter has defended her father after it was announced that he is taking a break from EastEnders.

Dani Dyer, 20, accused people of fabricating ‘stupid lies’ about her father and warned people to stop prying into her family.

She tweeted: “I swear to god if I see one more b******* lie about my dad on stupid papers stupid stupid stupid people (sic).”

In a post that has since been deleted she said: “I know you need to feed your family but why don't you write about what's happening in the world? Stay the f*** out of my family life!”

Her tweets come days after the 39-year-old actor – who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter – voluntarily decided to take a short break from the BBC soap.

“Danny is on a short break from EastEnders,” a BBC spokesperson said. “This was not enforced by bosses nor has he quit the show.”

It is not yet clear how long he will be absent for.

The news followed reports that Danny was suffering from exhaustion and told to “sort his life out” by show bosses.

Dyer – who joined the Walford-based soap in 2013 – has won two National Television Awards for Serial Drama Performance for his role as Carter, opposite on-screen wife Linda, played by Kellie Bright.

EastEnders is on BBC One tonight at 8pm.
