EastEnders Icon Danny Dyer was driven out of their Essex home by neighbours who ‘resented him’ for living on their street. The former BBC soap actor was harassed by thugs shortly after moving his family into a four-bedroom house there. Danny said, “When I moved in, people were milling around saying, ‘What are you doing moving around here?’ questioning me, thinking I was a multi-millionaire, (but) I wasn’t.
Danny then explained how nearby residents ended up ‘egging’ his home as well as “chucking vodka bottles and s***’ at his property, forcing the family to move.” While speaking at the Off Menu podcast, the soap star said that the larger house was actually a big step up for his family, but people in the area seemed to dislike him because of his character on EastEnders.
