Danny Dyer reveals he has taken up posh sport loved by the Royals to prepare for new season of Rivals after winning first BAFTA


BAFTA-winner Danny Dyer has taken up an unlikely posh sport loved by the Royals to help prepare for the new series of Disney+ Rivals.

Speaking to MailOnline at Sunday night's BAFTA Television Awards, which saw the ex-EastEnders star claim the best male performance in a comedy gong for his role as Lee Campbell in Sky series My Bigstuff, the actor revealed he's been having polo lessons which has left his backside feeling 'uncomfortably sore.' Danny stars in Disney+ series Rivals alongside David Tennant who plays station boss Tony Baddingham and Aidan Turner, whose character, journalist Declan O'Hara goes against him to create a competitor channel. The cast reunited at the BAFTA Television Awards on Sunday as Emily Atack, who plays sultry Sarah Stratton, attended the red carpet event dressed in a white gown with black leather gloves.
