DANNY Dyer has already given a variety of reasons for why he quit EastEnders, but now he’s come up with his most outrageous to date.
The actor, who played Mick Carter on the BBC One soap, says he was so outraged by them creating a love affair with another Albert Square character he had to leave.

Danny, 47, claims to have thrown in the towel three years ago because he couldn’t believe his character got paired up with Charlie Brooks’ Janine and got her pregnant.
Talking on Sky’s Smart TV he said: “Mick’s got a kid with Janine, how mad’s that? That’s why I left.
“They f*ing put me with Janine, I thought I’ve gotta fk off! It’s the truth!”
Danny has previously said he left the Walford soap because he wanted to explore other acting avenues, but many of his projects haven’t been conventional roles in dramas.
Which has left a question mark over exactly why he quit the plum role role as the Queen Vic landlord back in 2022, one he’d had on EastEnders since 2013.
But as well as surprising EastEnders fans, he also provided them with a glimmer of hope on the show by admitting he could return.
He points out that after he disappeared in his sensational exit storyline, with most people assuming he was dead, they never found his body.
Danny said: “I did present an award at the National Television Awards and I said: ‘Bring Mick back, which is the character I played in EastEnders.
“So I could be back for it. You never found my body, f*** knows where I am – bring Mick back!”
He did temper that by reminding everyone that he has found success in new racy Disney+ show, Rivals, playing Lord Sugar-esque working class tycoon Freddie Jones – and there’s a second, even steamier series on the way.
Danny said: “I’m a Disney star now. It’s called Rivals, it’s very ck heavy! I get naked in it, don’t get too excited, I’ve got B cups now.”
The former EastEnders actor has been keeping busy since leaving Albert Square for good in 2022, and now Tinsel Town is calling.
The job offers starting pouring in after Danny wowed viewers with his role in smash hit series, Rivals.
The much-loved Brit has landed a new gig alongside A-list movie star Rebel Wilson, 44.
The pair have been spotted filming scenes for their new movie in Knaresborough, Yorkshire.
Along with Rebel, Danny is also co-starring in the new Christmas movie called Tinsel Town alongside Hollywood favourite Kiefer Sutherland, 58.
