Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has revealed the reason behind his exit from the BBC1 soap and hit out at some of his “selfish” former co-stars.
The 46-year old departed Albert Square last Christmas after spending almost a decade behind the bar of The Queen Vic as landlord Mick Carter.
The father-of-three felt the role had run its course, however, admitting that the show’s standards dropped in his final years.

I n a tirade of expletives, Danny told the Sun: “The first few years we f***ing smashed it. It was powerful s**t. The viewer listened to us more than these f***ing c*** politicians.”

He continued: “I was blessed with some amazing storylines, some s***e ones as well.
“They f****d it up towards the end. It’s a shame it had to come to an end but I’d f***ing had enough.”
Danny, who made his name as hardman in the industry by starring in several movies including The Football Factory, Mean Machine and Human Traffic is rumoured to have particular disdain for Phil Mitchell star, Steve McFadden.

Speaking to fans at a Q&A session earlier this week, he explained: “I’ve worked with a lot of actors that are c***s, very selfish, it’s all about them.
“You need to look after your other actors. It’s about teamwork and looking after each other.”
In a dramatic exit, Danny’s character Mick vanished at sea, after diving into the fearsome waves in a bid to save his ex-wife Linda.
