Danny Dyer used to dress up as Columbo when he was a child.
The actor, 46, was obsessed with the TV detective, played by Peter Falk.
As part of bonkers role play with his younger brother Tony, he’d pretend to be his hero by wearing his mum’s dressing gown and grabbing a stick of celery.
Danny said on the Dish podcast: “We used to play a game, me and him, back in the day, in the 80s. And he was very much in touch with his feminine side, my brother, so, we used to play a game called Judo and Mermaid.

“I was called Judo. And I would bowl around in me mum’s dressing gown. And I used to love Columbo as a kid, so I’d have celery.
“I would walk into the crime scene munching the celery. And then my brother would play Mermaid.
“He would get my mum’s tights and he put them on his head, and so he’d always be in a sort of damsel in distress, and I’d come in and save him.”
Danny and Tony are still close to this day, but they have very different careers.
He added: “You wouldn’t have thought we came out of the same womb. My brother’s an accountant… clever with numbers and s***, which I’m not.”
