Danny Dyer launches into furious tirade against EastEnders as he brands scripts 's**t', calls co-stars Jessie Wallace and Shane Richie 'c***s' and accuses bosses of turning cast into 'lunatics' by lack of duty of care


The actor, 47, starred as Mick Carter on the BBC show for nine years, earning a whopping quarter of a million pounds a year at the height of hit stint, before his explosive exit in 2023.

However, reflecting on his time on the soap at a charity night at Wimbledon Club on Friday, Danny slammed the workload, declaring he had been 'off his nut' on prescription drugs and had ended up in rehab twice because of the show. Danny played Queen Vic landlord Mick on the BBC soap for nine years until his dramatic Christmas 2022 exit in a cliffside car chase, which left him presumed dead as his body was never found. But after the happy couple's initial stint, things would eventually change, with the teenage sweetheart parting ways and Mick re-marrying Janine, played by Charlie Brooks.
