Danny Dyer, aged 47, recently joined a unique group of interviewers, all of whom are autistic, neurodivergent and/or learning disabled, for an episode of The Assembly.
During the compelling conversation, he was asked to delve into topics such as his marriage, reasons behind sending his kids to private school, his relationship with his father, and his departure from EastEnders.
The actor, showing vulnerability at various moments throughout the session, was particularly moved by a performance the group gave. As they belted out Primal Scream's 'Movin' On Up', Danny found himself deeply affected.

Early in their rendition, Danny attempted to hold back his tears by tilting his head back, but soon enough, he couldn't help but be tearful, visibly wiping away his emotions.

As the ensemble gathered momentum with their singing, Danny couldn't resist joining in and enthusiastically encouraged the performers, clearly caught up in the moment, reports Belfast Live.
To the group, he exclaimed: "F***ing amazing." In response to being questioned if it was "Better than EastEnders?" he candidly retorted: "P****s all over it."
Following his experience on The Assembly, Danny was asked about his take on participating. He expressed to the group that he found it utterly honourable.
"It's been an honour if I'm honest. This has been very emotional, great learning about you lot, learned a bit about myself," he shared.
With tears in his eyes, he added: "I'm a bit emotional but that was f***ing amazing that tune. I will say, you better prepare yourself for a bit of fame because I think this show is going to be massive. You lot use your fame responsibly because I never. Thank you for having me."

Danny put his head in his hands before responding: "I gave you a cuddle and thought this is going to be a lovely question then you f**king hit me with that."
After a moment, he carried on: "Yes she did kick me out because I was a prick and she deserved better. Sometimes I would go out and get off my head and take drugs and I wouldn't come home for three days.
"I had issues and I didn't want the party to end. She had every right to throw me out. She's the one who's in charge now."

The pair discussed the possibility of motorists over 70 being prohibited from driving if they don't pass mandatory eyesight examinations, along with proposals for knife detection equipment in every British school.

One viewer posted on X (previously Twitter), "Madeley's back," with another commenting, "Madeley back on presenting." A third remarked, "Oh Joy. Madeley," whilst a fourth audience member similarly posted, "Richard Madeley back on @gmb." A fifth supporter reflected this feeling, stating: "Happy Days, our own Walter Mitty Richard Madeley."

Tipping Point has one big secret most people never guess, winner says
Tipping Point has one big secret most people never guess, winner says Tony, who walked away from the show with thousands, says Ben Shephard had one 11-word instruction for the players Tony on Tipping Point with host Ben Shephard A TV regular who has appeared in a number of major game shows has revealed the secrets from behind the scenes of ITV's Tipping Point. Quiz show and TV regular Tony Fillingham, 51, from Cheshire, has become a familiar face on the small screen over the years. He's racked up an impressive list of appearances, taking part in popular daytime favourites such as Tipping Point – where he bagged £2,700 – and Tenable, where he and his team walked away with a huge £45,000 jackpot. Outside the quiz show circuit, Tony has also been seen on Emmerdale, Extreme Diet Hotel, and Steph and Dom's One Star to Five Star. He even teamed up with Kate Garraway for Channel 5's never-aired gameshow 5 Second Stars, where he secured an incredible £23,000 prize. Unfortunately, because the show was pulled before broadcast, Tony never saw a penny of those winnings. Tonyo yold what it's really like to be on Tipping Potins - and the one secret most people don't guess. He said: "It's not like other shows. For example, I was team captain on Tenable, and from getting accepted to actually filming, there was a good four or five weeks — maybe more. 'So what I did for Tenable was get the lads together every Tuesday. I told them, 'Go find 10 top 10s' — like the 10 biggest US states, or the 10 longest rivers — whatever. We'd meet up at someone's house and test each other, trying to recreate the game as best we could. 'And it paid off. One of the rounds we practised — the biggest US states — came up on the actual show, and one of the lads nailed it. He got 8 out of 10, so that was £10,000 in the bank. That prep made a difference'. He added: "With Tipping Point, they record your intro, then you go straight into the game. When someone's eliminated after Round One, they leave, the crew comes in, rejigs the set — moves a podium, shifts things about — and a few minutes later, you're back on. 'It's all super quick, very real-time'. Tony on Tenable And he said there's one thing viewers would never guess happens behind the scenes of Tipping Point, adding: 'It's not even that it's behind the scenes — it's just something I never expected. The biggest shock for me was the actual machine you drop the coins into. 'They took us over to meet the independent adjudicator — this older woman with white gloves. Turns out, when you press the drop button on the show, it's not connected to anything. Nothing at all. That button is a decoy. 'There's a woman standing behind the machine, wearing those gloves, watching you. When you press the button, she's the one who actually drops the coin. It blew my mind! I always thought it was an automated machine, but nope. Total surprise'. He added: "You don't control the timing. It's all down to her. Sometimes I'd hit the button and think, 'Why hasn't she dropped it yet?' You're basically at her mercy. 'When I got to the end, the jackpot counter was bang in the middle of Drop Zone 4. If it had been a machine, I'd have taken the trade for three extra counters. But I didn't trust the manual drop; it's out of your hands. 'I get rinsed on X/Twitter every time my episode airs for not taking the trade. But my wife warned me not to gamble. And the whole reason I went on the show was to get my daughter a car. I had enough to do that and pay the insurance. The thought of coming home empty-handed after losing it - I couldn't stomach it. 'They make you play on anyway, and funnily enough, I did knock the jackpot counter over after that. So I could've walked away with £10,000 instead of £2,700. For me, the £2,700 was 100% worth it. That was the whole point: to buy my daughter a car and sort her insurance. She just started uni, and to me, that money means a lot. I'm a taxi driver, it's not life-changing, but it's significant. Article continues below 'It was also an incredible experience. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who thinks they can give it a go. Oh, and by the way - you keep everything you win. Completely tax-free. Also, if you knock over a prize counter, you win random extras. Ben Shephard even said to us, 'The prizes aren't great, but can you pretend to be excited?' 'I won 'Picnic at the Proms,' which turned out to be a concert on damp grass at Warwick Castle, no actual picnic included.'
