Danny Dyer reveals how a letter from his daughter Dani made him stay in rehab as he battled drug addiction


Danny Dyer has shared how a letter from his eldest daughter Dani made him stay in rehab when he was there to tackle his drug addiction.

Admitting he originally took the job because he had no money, Danny said: 'I had bailiffs [coming round], no-one would hire me and the more I'm doing these club appearances, the more drugs I'm taking, and drink, so I'm in this weird spiral.' Revealing what made him finally kick the habit and go to rehab in Cape Town, Danny described his moment of realisation at an after-party at his house following an awards show. Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs , Danny admitted that the letter made him realise the pain he had put his family through (pictured recently)
