Danny Dyer turns down offers for one reality show every year as he has 'no desire' to be on it


EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has said he will "never" appear on Strictly Come Dancing, despite being asked to take part in the show every year since he left the BBC soap

Speaking to The Sun, Danny revealed that he's been approached by BBC bosses annually to join the dance competition, but he's always turned them down as he's still on the hunt for his "ultimate role" after leaving EastEnders. Since bidding farewell to Albert Square, Danny has kept busy with roles in Sky Max comedy Mr Bigstuff, the sequel to Football Factory, and the upcoming Disney+ series Rivals, based on Jilly Cooper's 'bonkbuster' novel. In a chat with Radio Times, the father-of-three claimed he experienced "classism" at the start of his career and expressed disappointment that "there aren't many working-class people in the arts".
