Danny Dyer ‘never felt nerves' like it on daughter's wedding day
Actor Danny Dyer said he had 'never felt nerves' like those he experienced when he gave his daughter away as she married West Ham player Jarrod Bowen.
Love Island star Dani Dyer wed sportsman Bowen last month.
Discussing the ceremony on their podcast, Live And Let Dyers, Dani said the day left her feeling so emotional she 'couldn't talk about it'.
Her father, former EastEnders actor Dyer, said of the moment he walked her down the aisle: 'My heart was beating through my f***ing chest.
We had to start it again! It was so funny!
'I've done a lot of heavy s***. You know, I've done a lot of theatre and the awards things and everything like that, and there's a little bit of nerves, but I've never felt nerves like that. You know, just hanging on for dear life!'
Dyer, who has recently been filming the second series of hit drama Rivals, said he felt 'choked up' at seeing the happy couple together.
He went on: 'I needed just to contain myself. Because obviously it's a huge day for everyone in your family, but particularly the tradition of marriages – it's your father giving away your daughter, you know?'
The pair also joked about how Bowen's nerves meant he got his bride's name mixed up during the vows.
'He f***ed your name up a few times,' Dyer told the podcast.
'Obviously it's Dani Charlotte Dyer, then he called me Charlotte, didn't he?' Dani added.
'We had to start it again! It was so funny!'

Why Love Island's Helena holding out for Harry will RUIN her career – and what he told me that proves he'll never change
IT is a scenario we've all witnessed - or perhaps even lived through ourselves. Boy meets girl. Boy cheats on girl. Girl tells friends they're definitely over. Girl secretly thinks she can change boy. Girl takes boy back. Boy doesn't change. Advertisement 4 Love Island's Harry Cooksley has regrets about 'cheating' on Helena Ford Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Helena has a tough choice to make between her head and her heart Credit: ITV 4 The tearful footballer said of his former partner 'she can't even be around me' Credit: X / @LoveIsland You can change the genders whichever way around, but regardless, we're about half way through this storyline so far with Love Island's Helena and Harry. The couple were over before they began because of the She appeared to have conveniently forgotten however, about running to the Shakira - just 56 hours after meeting. Despite an intimate night in the boudoir, Harry then snogged saucy sexpot Yasmin behind Helena's back before ending up back with Shakira again. Advertisement READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND But before Helena could take him back, she was whisked away for a sleepover with bombshell Giorgio. He's not the air stewardesses' usual type, but he's the perfect distraction to stop Helena reuniting with Harry. I have no doubt Helena will end up back with Harry in a storyline set to rumble on this series, but I'm here to warn her that holding out for him will RUIN her career. Advertisement Most read in Love Island Aside from her obvious similarities to Love Island legend She had the villa in hysterics when, during a game of Spin the Bottle, she dared ex Harry "to go home". Love Island's Harry breaks down in tears over Helena as he sobs 'she can't even be around me' But if she doesn't stick to her guns and stay far away from Harry, she's going to come across more like pushover Chloe Burrows who kept going back for By proving she knows her worth and can resist Harry's temptation, Helena will secure herself an army of female fans they can look up to. Advertisement She'll be able to capitalise on this by landing lucrative deals with empowering female brands instead of facing heartbreak once they're out the villa when Harry inevitably cheats. I say this because a leopard never changes its spots - and if he's already untrustworthy while living 24/7 under the same roof, then I don't hold out much hope. 4 Helena read Harry the riot act and told him they can't be friends Credit: ITV My assumption is also based on what Harry told me before going into Love Island. Advertisement While the 30-year-old was in isolation days before the series launch, Harry's ex said he dumped her for Love Island - despite claiming he was going to Bali for the summer . When I confronted him about this, Harry played Mr Innocent. "Oh that sounds so terrible, wow," he exclaimed. "No, we were casually dating and I told her I was going away for the summer and we left it there. I didn't 'dump' anyone." Advertisement In fact, Harry went on to rubbish the idea he was as much of a "player" in dating as he was on the pitch. "I think that is the reputation footballers get, but I can only be myself and that's not who I am," Harry insisted to me. "I'm not a player. "I'm 30. I've got a mullet. I'm ready for something serious." Advertisement As he said this, with a twinkle in his eye and dimple in his smile, it was difficult not to fall for Harry's charm. But Helena needs to be strong and resist - or face being played by a player who has no intention of settling down.
