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.
"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!"

Tasha Ghouri gives update on love life as she rules out dating shows
Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha Ghouri has revealed whether she would be open for a stint on Love Island All Stars or Celebs Go Dating after her split from Andrew Le Page Former Love Island star Tasha Ghouri has shared whether she'd be open to more celebrity dating shows. It comes following the news earlier this year that she had separated from Andrew Le Page, who she met on the ITV2 show. Talking about doing a presenting course at the TRIC Awards in London tonight, Strictly Come Dancing star Tasha, 26, said she'd rather focus on that side of her career. "It's not for me personally," Tasha said about the possibility of seeing her on Love Island: All Stars or Celebs Go Dating. She added: "I know people find love on these shows but my dating shows are closed. I'm going down a different path now. It's something I'm really passionate about. I'm happily single but I'm open to love. I'd love a family." Tasha rose to fame on Love Island in 2022, where she found love with former partner Andrew, now 30. The former couple, who reached the final of the show, later split after more than two and a half years together. The reality TV star was the first deaf contestant on the show and uses a cochlear implant to help her hear. She was born deaf and received the implant, which is a small electronic device, when she was five years old. Talking about her meteoric rise since the ITV2 show, she shared how she deals with the stress. "The past few years have been a whirlwind," she admits. "Sometimes I listen to music, other times I take my cochlear out and enjoy the silence. I'm very lucky to have that, it's a beautiful thing." The self confessed adrenaline junkie says she got something wild she needs to tick off her bucket list though. "I want to try ski diving," she said excitedly whilst at the awards ceremony. "I'd love to throw myself out of a plane." Tasha's comments at the TRIC Awards tonight come after a previous update on her personal life whilst at the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises last month. She spoke to the Mirror on the red carpet of the event in May. At the time, Tasha told us that she was "doing okay" when asked about her split from Andrew. She shared whilst on the red carpet of that event just over a month ago: "You know, break ups aren't easy for anybody to go through." She went on to say that she looks back on the relationship in a positive way. Tasha said: "I had a great two and a half years with Andrew. I look back with a positive smile on my face because we had great memories together." Tasha further commented whilst a guest at the BAFTAs: "Sometimes it just doesn't work out and that's all that happened and I wish him the best. I'm just moving forward now." She said at the time that her "dating book is closed for now" and dismissed the prospect of doing a show like Celebs Go Dating. Instead, she said on the red carpet last month that her focus was on herself for the time being.

Gabby Allen moves on with Love Island star just weeks after Casey O'Gorman split
After a whirlwind romance with Casey O'Gorman, Love Island All Stars winner Gabby Allen has already moved on - and her new connection is raising eyebrows Just weeks after ending things with Casey O'Gorman, Gabby Allen appears to be moving forward and this time, her new connection is another familiar face from the Love Island universe. The 33-year-old fitness influencer had only just claimed victory on Love Island: All Stars in February alongside Casey, 28. But their win didn't guarantee long-term love - by May, the couple confirmed they had gone their separate ways. Now, Gabby's been linked to Blu Chegini, the 26-year-old Islander from the most recent Love Island series, who was controversially dumped from the villa in a twist that forced him and fellow singleton Shea Mannings to choose who would leave. With neither budging, the group voted Blu out. But Blu didn't waste time after his exit. During a joint appearance on Aftersun, sparks flew between him and Gabby - and the chemistry didn't go unnoticed. 'Yeah, me and Gabby met on Aftersun. I've got her number but I won't say more than that, I can't say more than that right now,' Blu told MailOnline, keeping coy but clearly hinting at something brewing. Fans caught the flirtation live, as host Maya Jama teased the recently dumped islanders: 'You guys still have the summer to find love — whether it's with each other or someone else — we just won't be able to watch it on telly.' Blu cheekily turned to Gabby and her co-star Kaz Crossley, grinned, and said, 'Hi Gabby!' to cheers from the crowd. Maya joked, 'Wow, shooters shoot!' while Kaz chimed in with: 'Yes! You're her type, babe.' Blu pushed things further by asking, 'Can I pull for you for a chat?' - prompting Gabby to playfully act like she was on her way. While Gabby appeared open to the flirtation, she also used the segment to speak candidly about her recent breakup. When Maya asked about the split with Casey, Gabby responded with a laugh, 'How long have we got?' before adding, 'You know what, not really that much to report. I feel like when you're in the villa it's very different to when you get out. We're just at very different stages in our lives I think.' Kaz wasn't as neutral, bluntly stating: 'Casey, he's a lovely boy - but emphasis on boy. I love Gabby, and I just feel like with a relationship you just need a bit more depth. We both do. We're both at that age where we're looking for our husbands.' Before the breakup was public, Gabby hinted something was off. At the BAFTA TV Awards, she told The Mirror: 'I have two businesses… I don't have time to b****y see anyone, let alone have a boyfriend.' The couple officially confirmed the split via a joint statement, describing it as mutual and amicable. Gabby's rep added: 'She's excited for what the future holds and appreciates the memories they created together.'

Major Hollyoaks exit confirmed as popular star quits after 2 years
After two years as the tough no-nonsense matriarch Marie Fielding, Rita Simons has quit Hollyoaks. The former EastEnders star confirmed the news on her social media channels, writing on Instagram that she's going to be 'saying bye bye' to her Channel 4 soap counterpart in the autumn. No, you're crying. 'Since Marie Fielding stepped into Hollyoaks village, she's sufficiently messed up all her boys lives, Caused ALL the carnage and fallen off the wagon a few times…so her job here is done!,' she said, alongside a few snaps from her time on the show. 'On a personal note, when I first came to Liverpool I was still figuring out how find balance in my mind and body after a total hystorectomy (which was the best journey I ever went on in the end!). 'This beautiful, welcoming city has healed me more than I can ever explain. I will always have such love for my second home and the wonderful people of Liverpool. 'But now I feel strong, I can metaphorically walk on my own again, and I need to do just that. So It's time to thank everyone at Hollyoaks for being the best tonic I could've asked for. But London and my true home is calling and I have to follow my heart. Gone are the days of not listening to my soul. So…Londons calling baby!' Rita, 48, confirmed that – prior to her departure – there is more to come for Marie, promising audiences a 'bit more carnage'. The actress' social media post comes after The Sun reported on news of her exit, with a source telling the publication that the 'door is always open' in terms of a possible comeback later down the line. Metro has reached out to Hollyoaks for comment. Following Rita's casting in 2023, Marie made an explosive Hollyoaks debut in March 2024, clashing with Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) during her introductory scenes. Marie is the mum of Joel Dexter (Rory Douglas-Speed), whose exit after 9 years was confirmed earlier this month. Her son Abe (Tyler Conti), who abused Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin), met a shocking end earlier this year at the hands of Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) while third son Arlo (Dan Hough) bullied Ro Hutchinson (Ava Webster). Following a time jump one year into the future, Marie enjoyed a short-lived relationship with Tony (Nick Pickard), who has started to fall for ex-wife Diane (Alex Fletcher). Marie has proven a breath of fresh air during her time in the village, particularly during those early months when she settled into the matriarchal role at the Lomax household, proving a huge source of support and guidance for Joel and Leela Dexter (Kirsty Leigh-Porter) during their heartbreaking stillbirth story. More Trending Rita Simons' reputation as a phenomenal actress proceeds her due to her unforgettable stint as Roxy Mitchell in EastEnders and Marie's trials and tribulations allowed her ample opportunities to showcase such skills on the Channel 4 soap, with storylines ranging from addiction to the character's ardent belief in her kids, which – in a show that can often be brilliantly larger than life – made her so inherently real and believable. She'll certainly be missed. View More » Hollyoaks streams Mondays to Wednesdays from 6am on Channel 4's streaming platform, or catch episodes on TV at 7pm on E4 .
