Danny Dyer's staggering six-figure salary for hosting BBC One show revealed

Since playing Mick Carter in EastEnders, has fast became one of the UK's most sought after actors. And this may explain why, on the back of his exit from the soap, the once bad boy actor of films including Factory, landed himself a whopping six-figure payday when hosting the quiz show, The Wall.

The 47 year old star, who has been submerged in job offers since leaving three years ago, has now candidly revealed that he was paid £100,000 to host the TV quiz show. He said: "How much did I get for presenting The Wall? I think I probably got maybe £100,000."

He added: "But, you have to work for it you know. But yeah, that's what I got."

While on EastEnders, the TV and film star secured the hearts of the nation playing Mick due to his heartfelt storylines alongside his on-screen wife, Kellie Bright.

And since viewers saw him lost out at sea in one of the soap's most gripping storylines, Danny has gone on to adopt roles that have seen him shed his cockney bad boy demeanour, in shows such as Jilly Coopers' Rivals.

But life has not always been as smooth for Danny. Away from the cameras, the relationship with his devoted wife Joanne has gone through its fair share of trouble.

And this was highlighted during the show The Assembly, as he was asked a question about his personal life by a group of young people.

The TV show has also seen stars including David Tenant and singer take centre stage and answer difficult questions.

In one part of the show, a young lady asked Danny about his split from Jo in 2000. Despite reuniting, Danny was more than honest when talking about how their break-up impacted him.

When asked if he still has a joint bank account with his wife after she emptied their money out, he replied: "I was a p***k and she deserved better."

He went on to add: "Sometimes I'd go out, get off my head, take drugs. I wouldn't come home for three days. She had every right to throw me out. She controls everything now."
