My life was a car crash – EastEnders saved me, now I’ve taken a memento from Queen Vic, says Danny Dyer before soap exit
EASTENDERS geezer Danny Dyer is calling time on his nine years as Queen Vic guv’nor Mick Carter – but not before swiping a stool from the bar. The Cockney hardman will bow out in an explosive Christmas Day special, after 1,150 episodes and 117 cliff-hangers to the sound of the BBC soap’s famed “doof-doof” drum roll. But Danny, 45, has revealed how shooting his final scenes left him so proper gutted, mate, that he had to half-inch a piece of the Albert Square pub for old times’ sake.
