Danny Dyer all smiles with wife Jo Mas on Thailand holiday after texting scandal
DANNY Dyer and wife Jo Mas have jetted off on an exotic family holiday just weeks after the actor was embroiled in a texting scandal.
The EastEnders actor - who plays Mick Carter in the BBC soap - took a topless selfie and appeared to perform a sex act on himself in a video sent to a trusted pal in the scandal revealed by The Sun on Sunday.
However now the soap star, his wife and their younger children have flown to Thailand for a summer break during the school holidays.
The family has been pictured enjoying time at an elephant park where they walked with the magnificent animals and fed them lunch.
It is the first time Danny has been pictured with wife Jo since the texting scandal.
The mystery woman Danny sent sex texts to just before his wedding is a former topless model he has known for 20 years, it was revealed by The Sun.
He begged her to send him “some filth” and declared that he felt “nawty” on his stag do.
They have been seen together on dozens of nights out — and pals said Dyer kept their meetings separate from childhood sweetheart wife Jo Mas.
One said: “Danny and Nikki spent a lot of time together around the time he married Jo. They were in touch in the build-up. Danny shared some of his deepest and most private thoughts.”
Last month the duo were snapped hugging at a charity football event in Essex.
Photos on social media show Dyer cuddling Nikki behind the bar of the Queen Vic.
Nikki has also appeared on the soap as an extra, and now works in PR.
A friend of Dyer told how they met through distant relatives and both are diehard West Ham fans.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Danny and Nikki go back a long way. He doesn’t trust many people, but she is one of them.
