OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Dyer has reportedly quit ‘The Wall’.
The 44-year-old actor – who previously revealed he would be leaving his role as Mick Carter on ‘EastEnders’ – is now set to call time on another BBC project four years after penning an exclusive deal with the broadcaster.
Asked if he would be returning to the Beeb’s game show for another, he told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “No.”
The report added that the programme would continue without Danny, while the BBC didn’t confirm future plans but noted its roster of game shows still on air.
A spokesman said: “Whilst ‘The Wall’ is off air, fans can stream their favourite episodes on iPlayer plus there are plenty of other great quiz and game shows currently airing on Saturday nights on BBC One including ‘The Weakest Link’, ‘Celebrity Catchpoint’ and ‘Pointless Celebrities’ amongst others.”
Back in February, Danny handed in his notice to ‘EastEnders’ and confirmed plans to leave Albert Square.
Since then, he has lined up new roles fronting a new Netflix quiz show, and a travel project for Channel 4 alongside his daughter Dani.
Meanwhile, it was recently reported he has joined the cast of a four-part Channel 5 drama set to be filmed in Australia and broadcast in 2023.
At the time, a source revealed that upon being offered the role Danny spoke to co-star Charlie Brooks – who plays Janine Butcher on ‘EastEnders’ – as she had had a “great time” working on ‘Lie With Me’ for the broadcaster back in 2021.
The insider added that Channel 5 are “really looking forward” to working with him.
The source said: “Danny is a big name for Channel 5 and they are thrilled that he’s agreed to do the drama. The details are currently being finalised but he will be flying out to Australia later this year to film the four-part series. Everyone is looking forward to having him on board.
“It’s a great move by Channel 5 to have him fronting one of their dramas.”
