Danny Dyer revealed a disgusting detail about his final EastEnders scenes as Mick Carter.
The 45-year-old actor told Jonathan Ross about how they created the final shots of Mick’s death, explaining that the “exteriors” were filmed on a cliff at 2am in Ramsgate, while the “interiors” were shot at a water tank in Basildon.
Danny shared the horrific way the EastEnders team made the water tank look like sea water, revealing that they added “broccoli juice” to mirror the effect.

“My final scenes were in the sea, in Ramsgate at 2am,” he started. “We did the exteriors in the sea and the interiors you go to a water tank. But EastEnders couldn’t get Pinewood, so we had to go to Basildon.”

“It’s all warm and lovely but to make it look like the sea they put broccoli juice in it,” Danny revealed. “You smell of a***. It’s f***ing broccoli juice.”
“Warm broccoli juice,” he continued. “It was very emotional, but I stunk.”
Danny added that his nine years of playing Mick were “life-changing” and hinted at a possible return for the character as viewers were never shown his body.

“It’s a very emotional thing, it’s such a big part of me,” he said. “If it goes t**s up I can go back. I can turn up in three years’ time, walk in the Queen Vic smothered in seaweed…”
“They wanted to keep it open and I’m very privileged and grateful for that job. It really did change my career and my life,” Danny admitted.

Danny also shared that part of the reason why he chose to leave was because he is “lazy” and couldn’t bare to learn “thirty pages” of scripts a day.
“I tell you what it is, I’m lazy. It’s f***ing hard. Thirty pages you’ve got to learn a day. It’s like a film a week,” he explained.
