Danny Dyer on fears for EastEnders live week: 'It's scary but bring it on'

Danny Dyer has admitted that the upcoming EastEnders live week is "absolutely petrifying".

The actor, who won the Serial Drama Performance prize at the National Television Awards last night (January 21), described the event as "television history".

"I'm petrified. I'm not going to lie to you," Dyer told reporters including Digital Spy backstage at the NTAs.

"I've done things on stage, I've done Broadway – this live episode is absolutely petrifying. But I think it's like television history so it's an honour to be part of it.


"I think you've got to be petrified – I ain't going into it giving it the big'un because it's a real big ask and we all know what it entails," he continued.


"I'll just be so happy when we wrap up on the Friday if it's gone well. I know people watch it because it's live and they want to see things go wrong like a boom drop into shot... It is scary, though. But you know what, bring it on."

The 37-year-old also described himself as a "car crash" before EastEnders, saying: "I think people wanted to see me fail. Having that responsibility, taking on the Vic [...] I'm so glad that it's reined me in and it's made me concentrate and focus. I forgot about the love of acting, which I love to do.

"And can I just say something about soap acting? It's so hard. It's so hard. I had to draw on all my experience to get through it – it's so truthful every single day.


"There's so much dialogue involved and to create a character that anyone gives a f**k about every day is a difficult thing. It's drained the life out of me but I love it, I love it, I love it."
