It's surprising to hear - especially as 37-year-old Danny Dyer, who plays Mick Carter in EastEnders, is known for his tough-guy roles in films like The Football Factory and Mean Machine.

She said: "He was crying when the photos were being taken. He was really proud.
"When my name came up on the screen he burst out crying too."
