Danny Dyer pulled out his BAFTA during wedding speech
Danny Dyer pulled out his BAFTA award during his speech at his daughter Dani Dyer's wedding. The Human Traffic star has admitted he was thrilled to win a prize for his role in TV comedy Mr. Bigstuff earlier this year and he even took the trophy to his daughter's wedding in May and used it as part of his toast at the reception after Dany tied the knot with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen. Danny told The Telegraph newspaper: "The first six months have been incredibly emotional ... I won the Bafta. I didn't think I would win it. It's the first time I've been acknowledged really, so to actually win it, and win it for a comedy performance, for Mr Bigstuff, which is me going into territory I'm not known for, I was just so happy. "And then, of course, my daughter getting married to the man of my dreams. It doesn't happen often. I'm sure there's many men who give away their daughters to a********. "You can't choose who your kid falls in love with, but I think for the first time in history I'm more in love with him than she is." Danny went on to reveal he used the award during his father-of-the bride speech, adding: "I wanted to keep it [the speech] light. "So I said: 'Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, today's not about me, it's about this wonderful couple.' "Then I go under the table and bring out my BAFTA. I thought: 'Oh my God, is this narcissistic?' But the cheer it got … "I needed to make people laugh, so that's what I did." He went on to reveal he then used his speech to get guests to sing an updated version of a West Ham football chant, adding: "The speech was written for me really because I alluded to me being more in love with him than her. "Then I got us all to stand up and sing 'Bowen's on fire and he's married Dani Dyer'." Danny previously opened up about his daughter's big day during an appearance on Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, saying: "I was in pieces. The best day of my life, it was unbelievable, honestly it was just so beautiful. "I managed to give my daughter away to the man of my dreams. I don't think that's ever happened in the history of any father giving away their daughter. It was the perfect day, it was just beautiful."

Danny Dyer shares real reason he'd turn down knighthood
EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has revealed he's planning on following in his 'hero" Harold Pinter's footsteps by turning down a knighthood if he's ever offered the accolade Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has shared why he'd turn down a knighthood. The 47-year-old actor says that he was too "anti-establishment" for the title which are given to individuals by the monarch for a significant contribution to society. He told Radio Times that he'd follow in the footsteps of his "hero" Harold Pinter, who turned down a knighthood back in 1996. Nobel-winning playwright Pinter declined the honour of a knighthood offered to him on behalf of the late Queen Elizabeth II by former prime minister John Major, but later accepted the award of Companion of Honour in 2002. When asked if he'd ever been approached about appearing on the New Year 's Honours list, Danny explained: " Have I f! Harold was my hero and turned down a knighthood. "He was anti-establishment as well, so I don't think it's for me." Danny became a household name acting in EastEnders from 2013 to 2022 as fan favourite Mick Carter and has since gone on to star in Disney's hit series Rivals, Sky comedy show Mr. Bigstuff, and an upcoming Irish film Three Quick Breaths. It comes after Danny left his daughter Dani Dyer horrified with his honeymoon confession. During a recent episode of their podcast Live And Let Dyers, the Love Island winner opened up about her romantic getaway with new husband and West Ham star Jarrod Bowen, while proud dad Danny managed to overshare in true Dyer fashion. Back from her sun-soaked trip to Lake Como, Dani revealed the newlyweds were hit with gloomy weather but still made the most of their honeymoon bubble. 'The weather was terrible, it rained for three days but we were very lucky, because it always stopped raining when we went for lunch and for dinners and stuff," Dani told her dad on the pod. While the couple had hoped for some sunbathing time, Dani admitted they swapped tanning for telly, champagne and baths. She added: "We just could never sunbathe, and there's not really much to do there so, we just binged the whole series of MobLand. We ate and I'd just drink champagne and have loads of baths." However, it wasn't long before Danny spun the convo onto his honeymoon and things got very a little too honest. He said: "To be fair, you shouldn't really be getting out of bed a lot in your honeymoon because me and your mother ended up in Florence, and you know, we was appalling! "I mean, honestly, I look back on it and I think, 'f****** hell! How on Earth did I manage to get in those sorts of positions!." A shocked Dani responded saying: "Oh, you're disgusting!" before he hit back with: "What do you mean disgusting? There was two people sharing their love. Them days are long gone now!"
