In the comedy, which returns to Sky and Now on Thursday, Danny's character Lee is a wayward geezer who rocks up at his straight-laced brother Glen's carpet factory, seeking a new chapter.
Laughing, Danny said: 'Ever run through a council estate naked? It's a whole new ball game, literally.
'I was concentrating on the
weather
, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn't too cold!
'It was broad daylight. I didn't go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.'

The former EastEnders hardman didn't mind stripping off because it was important for the storyline, with Lee chasing down a thug who had thrown a brick through a window.
He added: 'You read this stuff, and you go, 'OK, I've got to physically do it'. But it's important to the show, it's a vital scene. You go, 'He's back'. It's the way of showing the alpha is back.'
It is all quite different to Danny's more romantic scenes in Disney+ bonkbuster Rivals.
And he reckons playing the two roles in tandem has finally proven his clout as an actor.

Danny mused: 'No one really saw me in that rom-com light. I'm really appreciative that Rivals went, 'No, this is what you're going to do, something completely different'.
'These two
jobs
came to me back-to-back, two very different roles. I did Rivals first. I came straight out of Rivals, shaved my tache off, and went into Mr Bigstuff.

In the past, Danny has firmly planted himself in his comfort zone as a Cockney hardman.
He said: 'I do feel when I did that show called Heat, on Channel 5, just after I left EastEnders after nine years . . . I was playing [EastEnders character] Mick, really. I'd played him for so long, you pick up habits.'
I'm sure Danny's fans won't mind if he makes nudity a habit.

Instead, they ramped up the drama with a savage kissing game. Emma received a text, which read: 'Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion.
"It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition.'

The boys didn't hold back in their feedback, with Dejon slating Yasmin: 'That kiss was two words . . . no good. Zero out of ten.'
There's more romance on EastEnders than Love Island these days.

Fake Or Fortune is back for a 13th series and it could prove lucky for one amateur art collector, who believes he has a piece painted by Sir Winston Churchill.
In tonight's opener on BBC One, Barry is hopeful the painting he bought for £140 at a Sussex fair could be a winner because hidden writing on the back notes it was painted in June 1916 by the wartime PM.
If the team of experts prove it's genuine, it could be worth half a million pounds.

Line Of Duty star
After being in a wheelchair, Martin returned as a gun-toting saviour. Talking on Westlife star Nicky Byrne's HQ podcast, he said: 'My character is a pain in the arse; the dick wears a waistcoat and that annoying accent I do.
"They [the writers] said from that moment his relationship with the audience will change, they'll realise that if he was dead, what they'd lose.
'They were right. He was the hero of the show. Coming back – having been a wheelchair – with a gun felt like a moment.

Nigel Bates - who is played by actor Advertisement 2 Nigel returned to Walford terrified about where he'd been Credit: BBC 2 Julie came back for him and agreed to stay in Walford Credit: BBC Viewers know Nigel is suffering from dementia and left Julie rather than let her see his decline.

He got in contact and summoned her to Walford where she discovered the truth about Nigel's condition. Advertisement Read more on EastEnders Determined to care for him as his wife, Julie convinced Nigel to return to Scotland to their life and promised to look after him. However just days into their reunion, Nigel went missing again - not able to remember who Julie was nor why he was with her. In tonight's double bill of the soap, Julie made a shock return to Walford searching for Nigel once more. He'd done a runner in the train station as they travelled back up to Edinburgh. Advertisement Most read in Soaps Julie ran to Walford and found Phil to see if Nigel had returned there. And it wasn't long until he did with Callum finding him at the tube station.

Dementia - the most common form of which is Alzheimer's - comes on slowly over time. As the disease progresses, symptoms can become more severe. But at the beginning, the symptoms can be subtle or mistaken for normal memory issues related to ageing. The You can refer to these above. For example, it is normal for an ageing person to forget which word to use from time-to-time, but difficulties having conversation would be more indicative of dementia. Katie Puckering, Head of Alzheimer's Research UK's Information Services team, 'As you get older, it takes longer for you to recall, or you really have to think; What was I doing? Where was I? What distracted me? Was it that I had to let the dog out? And then you find the keys by the back door. 'That process of retrieving the information is just a bit slower in people as they age. 'In dementia, someone may not be able to recall that information and what they did when they came into the house. 'What may also happen is they might put it somewhere it really doesn't belong. For example, rather than putting the milk back in the fridge, they put the kettle in the fridge.'
