How decade-long bitter feud between Danny Dyer and Mark Wright is over… with pair even ‘having respect for each other'
'NO MORE BEEF' How decade-long bitter feud between Danny Dyer and Mark Wright is over… with pair even 'having respect for each other' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE explosive fight between hardman actor Danny Dyer and ex Towie star Mark Wright was the talk of V festival back in 2016, I remember it well. The brawl resulted in both parties having to keep a wide berth, Danny having a black eye and wife Jo hiding in her tent, as they were supposed to be celebrating their stag and hen dos. 11 The decade-long rift between Danny Dyer and ex Towie star Mark Wright is over Credit: Getty 11 Their feud erupted over a decade ago, when movie hardman Danny bad-mouthed Mark during a 2013 interview Credit: Rex 11 Danny and Mark clashed at V Festival in 2016, but their feud had been brewing for years 11 A brawl kicked off between the pair in 2016 Credit: Eroteme I remember Jo telling me at the time she just wanted to enjoy headliner Justin Bieber. But when I saw Danny, now 47, jubilant after having just won a prestigious gong, chatting away to Mark's sister Jess, 39, in the smoking area at the Bafta TV awards earlier this month, it was clear that the decade-long rift between the two influential families was over. Now, in an exclusive interview with Danny's missus Jo, she has revealed that it is in fact friendly Jess, a mainstay on the showbiz circuit, who has helped smooth over the rift. She explained: 'There is no beef with them. We don't see them, but Danny has seen Jess a lot. 'He sees her at the gym and he saw her at an event a couple of weeks ago and Jess was there and they were cool, they speak. There is nothing there.' Not only is Jo happy for Mark and wife Michelle Keegan's new baby, but she loves their choice of name so much she wishes daughter Dani had named one of her granddaughters Palma. She said: 'Do you know what I love? I love the name Palma. I said to Dani, 'Oh my god, why did we not name your little girls Palma. That's where my dad is from.' Peacemaker Jess and Danny's eldest daughter Dani, 28, who is due to marry West Ham Utd star Jared Bowen later this year even follow each other on Instagram and regularly message. Nowadays the pair are much more family friendly with Mark presenting his own show on Heart FM, and Danny starring in corporate Disney+ drama Rivals. A showbiz insider tells me: "Danny and Mark have both grown up a lot since the clash and don't have any bad blood. In fact, quite the opposite, they're both family men, who look out for their own and have a fair bit of respect for each other. Sunnie Dyer: How Danny Dyer's Daughter Is Forging Her Own Path "They're both self made and work hard to support their families. Danny thinks Jess is sweet as she always makes an effort to say hi and has a smile on her face. "They live fairly near to each other in Essex and see each other's clan at showbiz parties. "That's no bad blood, but that's not to say there wouldn't be a bit of banter on the football pitch if they ever get reunited at a charity football match, they both love football and have played for Soccer Aid before. "Essex blokes are always going to be full of bravado, but you can count on the women to be the peacemakers and smooth things over." Their bitter feud erupted over a decade ago, when movie hardman Danny, the Dyers' patriarch, bad-mouthed Mark during a 2013 interview while noting his utter disgust at once being mistaken for him and mocking his rival's lofty acting ambitions. Mark's not up my street. He'll never be a mate of mine. Good luck to him, just stay away from me Danny Dyer Danny said: 'I got mistaken for Mark Wright once. In a café. It put me right off my beans. 'I don't know him, but he's everything I hate about this whole celebrity world. 'It's mainly because of some of his quotes saying he wants to be the next James Bond. If he's the next James Bond, it's over for me. It's the arrogance of it all — it irritates me.' 11 Mark with wife Michelle Keegan Credit: Getty 11 Mark Wright with his brother Josh, mum Carol, sisters Jess and Natalya, and dad Mark Wright Sr Credit: Instagram 11 Danny with daughters Sunni and Love Island star Dani Credit: Splash He added: 'Mark's not up my street. He'll never be a mate of mine. Good luck to him, just stay away from me.' Years later, during a charity football match, the fallout turned physical after Mark slapped Danny in a changing room. The ugly altercation was made public by Mark's brother Josh, who reacted to Danny having a fresh pop at the ex-Towie star, who is also a DJ on HeartFM and appeared in adverts for a yoghurt brand. Writing on Twitter, he joked: 'My worst nightmare would be listening to Heart FM while eating an Oykos yoghurt. It would be like p***ing razor blades.' Ex-footballer Josh replied: 'You must still be hurting from when Mark gave you a slap in the changing room that day. Get over it you melt.' Danny then informed his followers that the slap happened at a 'charity football match for terminally ill children' and accused Mark of hiding behind his dad after the slap. He added: 'What a geezer. My bird hits harder.' Josh replied: 'Not sure it happened like that mate, you ran your mouth as always and pushed him into corner so he protected himself by slapping you.' Danny responded: 'We all know what happened. He took a bang liberty. End of. He ain't a bit on me. Crack on.' Mark only got away with it, Danny said, as 'there was kids waiting outside with months to live'. But animosity between the pair really blew up in the battlegrounds of Chelmsford, at the 2016 V Festival, when the former EastEnders' favourite was attacked by five of Mark's pals in front of his daughter Love Island Dani, who was just 20 at the time, shocking fellow revellers swigging free booze in the event's notorious Louder Lounge VIP section. 11 Mark Wright and his mates at V Festival before the row Credit: Instagram 11 Social media snaps in 2016 showed Danny with a black eye Credit: Instagram 11 EastEnders legend Danny refused to take part in Soccer Aid if Mark was on the team Credit: Splash 'Complete carnage' Danny was enjoying his joint stag and hen do ahead of his wedding to wife Jo, 48, and was left with a nasty black eye. Mark was in the toilet at the time. The fight was allegedly sparked by Dani, who called Mark a 'c***'. A witness said: 'I saw a young woman shouting at three men, calling them c***s over and over again. 'She was screaming, 'Mark Wright is a c***!' 'Then Danny came round the corner to intervene and I saw him throw a punch at one of them.' Danny's onscreen son on EastEnders, Danny 'Boy' Hatchard, piled in and started throwing punches, as Dani continued with her verbal attack. Another eyewitness described the scenes as 'complete carnage'. Danny is not an aggressive person. He wouldn't have wanted to fight anyone. They've ganged up on him Jo Speaking about the incident at the time Jo said: 'Danny is not an aggressive person. He wouldn't have wanted to fight anyone. They've ganged up on him. 'There were five guys against one and Danny still went for them. But the most f***ing disgusting thing is it was all in front of my 20-year-old daughter. They're a bunch of talentless Essex t***s.' Mark attempted to play down the fight on social media, but Danny hit back: 'No. True. Where was ya?? Do you wanna declare who ya snakey 2 Bob mates are?? 'Especially the 1 squaring up to my Dani. No daughter should have 2 see their old man being toe-punted in the nut by 5 complete p****s.' Later, Danny shared a picture of Mark and a group of his friends, with the caption: 'Friends eh. How to ruin ya pals career before it had even started. Legends. Other than that I had a proper night. X.' Maybe we'll see them supporting their beloved West Ham together soon...

She posted the video to her Instagram Stories and captioned it, "school run time." Her next update, showed Rox walking around a lake in her stylish gear which she described as a "wellness walk," and then showed herself at a supermarket with a full trolley and told her fans "food shop done." Rox's productive day didn't end there as she headed home to do some cleaning and finally changing into a chic strapless polka dot dress with her hair slicked back into a low-ponytail. She danced to the camera happily and added the caption: "showered, dressed and dancing." Rox and her hubby, Mark Hoyle, better known as LadBaby, recently turned heads with their stunning display at the Bafta TV awards. The influencers looked very glamorous, including Rox who sported a floor-length, strapless black gown that as topped off with a giant, white silk bow at the top of the dress and which draped down to an elegant train. "Guess who made it to the BAFTAs 2025!" Rox captioned a post on Instagram of her and Mark at the awards. "Seriously one of my favourite outfits of the day Rox.

The Bafta TV awards' biggest shocks and surprises
The Bafta TV awards last night was a battle between Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates Vs. The Post Office aka a battle between the originality of shows offered by the likes of streaming services, versus the ongoing resonance and power of public service broadcasting. Baby Reindeer had the most nominations, and Richard Gadd had already won in the writing category at last month's Craft Awards. Yet, the Post Office scandal had created a rarity in televisual history: pressure at the highest levels of government and genuine public outrage. Baby Reindeer was one of the most popular Netflix originals in the streamer's history when it debuted. Yet, Mr Bates had upwards of 15 million viewers. And here, both shows were up for Limited Drama. It was Richard Gadd vs Toby Jones for Lead Actor. Now, I know what you're thinking… weren't these shows on absolutely ages ago? It's one of the biggest questions that I get asked about the TV Baftas. The shows celebrate the very best programmes of the year, but the calendar year, which meant that shows that aired all the way back at the start of 2024 were eligible. Perhaps the Baftas could be more current, but it takes time for the juries to choose the overall winner. And lo and behold, Mr Bates aired right back on 1 January, 2024. Yet, the Baftas are a great litmus of how the television industry is coping with our changing viewing habits, and with new rivals with considerable spending power. In the end, both the streamers and the likes of ITV had something to be proud of, with Jessica Gunning winning Supporting Actor, whilst Mr Bates beat Baby Reindeer in the coveted Limited Series category. In the end, Richard Gadd and Toby Jones were not the winner of Lead Actor, with Lennie James for the BBC's Mr Loverman coming out on top. Yet, despite no show dominating the awards last night, you wonder how much we're at a tipping point. Drama on public service broadcasters is in a considerable crisis, with rising costs and a squeeze on the amount of money making it far harder for important dramas to be getting to the screen in the first place. And streaming services have been doing a series of thought provoking state-of-the-nation dramas that feel very similar to ones you see on public service broadcasters: Netflix's Adolescence and Toxic Town. Suspect — Jeff Pope's thought-provoking new limited drama on the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes — a very important British story, is on Disney+. All of these dramas will be eligible at next year's ceremony (which means, yes, Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty will be likely nominees in May 2026). If these shows do well at the awards, which certainly feels likely, it'll be harder for the likes of the BBC to argue that what it makes is distinctively different from what you can pay a subscription for, at a time of licence fee renewal and the BBC's future hanging in the air. Elsewhere, last night there was probably a lot of relief by Bafta organisers that the finale of Gavin & Stacey won one of the two awards they were nominated for, with Ruth Jones taking for Female Comedy Performance ("this is cracking," she told the crowd in the voice of Nessa). The talk of the audience last night was how on Earth the much-loved sitcom had not been nominated for Scripted Comedy, despite an acclaimed finale and upwards of 20 million viewers. If the show had walked away with nothing, it would have been as baffling as the time the acclaimed Russell T Davies' series It's A Sin received the most nominations, and yet won nothing on the big night itself. Still, there were a couple of big shocks last night, with Channel 4's The Jury: Murder Trial beating series two of The Traitors. Yes! The one with Diane and her fizzy rosé! The one where everyone yelled at Harry! The Jury is a show that is all based around whether a filmed trial makes the same verdict as the real one. It casually makes you wonder what was discussed behind closed doors that somehow made Murder Trial come up on top. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BAFTA (@bafta) The other shock? Sophie William winning Scripted Comedy for Alma's Not Normal. The shock not being her win, but saying that she wasn't going to swear, and then said the word "s***". Still, not as bad as Danny Dyer, who won for Mr Big Stuff for Scripted Comedy, proceeding to accidentally say "f***" and "f***ing" (by my count) no less than four times in his acceptance speech in less than a minute. The whole ceremony was broadcast on a taped delay, but in my opinion the Bafta's Best Editing prize should have gone to the person editing his Dyer's acceptance speech. The Bafta TV Awards are streaming on BBC iPlayer.
