Danny Dyer’s family urge star to save his marriage and ‘sort himself out’ as fears grow he may leave EastEnders
DANNY Dyer's family have urged the star to "sort himself out" and save his marriage after he jetted to South Africa to recuperate following his meltdown at the National Television Awards.
The EastEnders star has also left family, friends and his colleagues worried that he may be on the way to becoming a sexy addict.
The Sun revealed how the troubled 39-year-old went on gardening leave from the BBC soap after he struggled to cope with the pressure of working on EastEnders and his party-loving life in London.
Danny's marriage could be in trouble after we revealed how he sent a woman a pic of his mahood and then begged her for filthy videos just weeks before his wedding to long-term love Joanne Mas, 40.
His daughter Dani defended her dad, warning the fan: “If I see you I’ll f****** hurt ya.”
Now Danny's aunt Debbie Meakin told the Sunday Mirror how the family want him to sort himself out.
She said: "He needs to take a step back and look at his life.
"He's got a lovely family - his children and his wife. It's just a shame.
"It's just the same old, same old. How he acts doesn't just affect him, it affects his wife and kids."
Another family member, who did not wish to be named, also told the publication; "He's nothing like people think.
"He's got different attitudes to other members of the family and there's a long running rift between some of us."
While BBC bosses have said Danny is just taking some time off from his role as Mick Carter, his pals revealed he would quit the soap if he thought it was the right thing to do.
A pal said: "If quitting the show to give him time to focus on his family is necessary, he will."
Meanwhile, his daughter Dani tracked down the woman who her father had been sexting and launched a foul-mouthed tirade at her calling her a “vile ugly dirty skank” before adding “now bend over you dirty whore.”
In one particularly threatening message she wrote: “Karma is a bitch you vile ugly disgusting human being.
“If I see you i’ll f*****g hurt ya.”
The Sun told how married Dyer, 39, sent the messages to the fan just weeks before he married Joanne — Dani’s mum — last September.
Dyer asked the woman to “bend over and show me that bottle” — cockney rhyming slang for backside — and urged her to send rude video clips of herself.
A friend of the woman told The Sun: “She was flattered, but now feels worthless.”
Wannabe actress Dani found the fan, who is in her 30s, on social media.
She sent her a direct message asking: “What you think you are some sort of a f****** cool person trying to make yourself famous for 5 minutes?”
She then added: “Slag slag slag that’s what you were made to be now bend over you dirty whore.”
Dani also sent a third message to the woman, claiming to know "everything" about her and threatened to tell the "whole of Twitter" who she is.
She wrote: "Whole of Twitter will know it's you don't worry babe, yeah all that? I know everything about you. And where you work."
A close pal of the fan said she had been left “shaken” by the messages.
The friend added: “She hasn’t responded to the abuse from Dani because she believes that silence is louder than words.
“Dani sent them to her over Facebook at 8am so it was a horrible thing to read as she was getting her kids ready for school.
“She was really upset and anxious after receiving them, who wouldn't be?
“It’s hard for her because she is getting all the abuse and is being slagged off by Danny's daughter.
She felt like she loved Danny, she was a massive fan and easily fell for all his charm
“But he is the one in the wrong.
“She doesn’t understand why she is under fire.
“She felt like she loved Danny, she was a massive fan and easily fell for all his charm.
“Danny sent the messages from his official Twitter account, the same one he speaks to his daughter using, so it is obviously him, but still his Dani runs to his defence. It is crazy.”
RELATED STORIES
Dyer first shared Twitter messages with the fan after she attended a book signing in October 2015.
The pair later met at a series of events where he made guest appearances – but they did not have a physical sexual relationship.
However on another occasion he sent the fan a picture of his penis poking out from his boxers.
That was sent just nine weeks before he tied the knot with Joanne.
Dani also defended her troubled dad earlier this month after claims he was on a forced break from filming after acting up on set and going on massive benders.
She took to her Twitter account to tell over 8,000 followers: “I swere to god if I see one more bullsh*t lie about my dad on stupid papers stupid stupid stupid people.[sic]"
Danny has been in a relationship with the wife of his three children, Joanne, since the pair were teenagers.
This is not the first time he has hit headlines for liaisons with other woman.
In June 2014 it was reported that the actor had spent the night with a 21-year-old student after meeting her in a club.
He was allegedly pictured naked on her mobile phone in her hotel room.
In the same year Cara Chamberlain, 29, told of a night in 2010 she spent with soap star in his hotel room after going clubbing.
Two years ago, during an interview, the love rat vowed to change his ways.
He declared: “I don’t want to go there again.
“I have cheated in the past and I suffered the consequences quite badly.”
He also told Hello! magazine as part of an exclusive deal for access to his wedding pictures and plans, that he had learnt from his mistakes.
He said: “I thought the grass was greener but it was horrible."
Danny got married at a lavish bash in Hampshire before honeymooning in Florence.
A spokesman for Dani declined to comment.
