Former EastEnders star Danny Dyer has lost an astonishing seven pounds after starving himself, he has revealed.
The 45-year-old, who appeared as a host on Channel 4’s Scared of the Dark this week, has been starving himself for 16 hours a day.
Danny confessed that he began his drastic fast due to health concerns but still won’t give up on “Stella and crackers”.

Opening up on his eating habits while at home, he told The Mirror: “My wife, sometimes she cooks me dinner. But if she’s cooking it with anger and banging pots around, it just tastes like s***.

“There’s a place called the Toby Carvery and you have to queue up for a roast… I’ve got a platinum card!”
Danny’s recent weight loss comes after his eldest daughter Dani, 26, admitted she was worried about his health.
But the hardman actor took his daughter’s feedback in his stride and is now relying on a mix of yoga and intermittent fasting to help him shed the pounds.
Danny will be sharing his love of food with Love Island star Dani in a new four-part series, Absolutely Dyer: Danny And Dani Do Italy, which kicked off on E4 on Saturday night (April 22).

The father and daughter duo will take part in a trip around the country and the actor will showcase Italian cuisine and culture in a bid to educate his daughter Dani – who initially thought Tuscany was in America.
Although the pair’s trip was far from relaxing, Dani – who is expecting twins with West Ham footballer boyfriend Jarrod Bowen- had fond memories of her time away.
She said: “Lake Como was gorgeous – that was like heaven. It’s a honeymoon destination, oh my God.”
Danny’s Channel 4 show Scared of the Dark came to an end on Friday, with former England footballer Paul Gascoigne being crowned the winner.

The show which sees a group of celebrities, live together in complete darkness had a number of viewers glued to the screens.
Following his triumphant show win, Paul said: “People always question my mental strength but my success on this series proves that I am strong.
“I was nervous going in there but having got this far on the series made me the happiest man around. I’m so happy. It’s unbelievable.”
