Danny Dyer, the star of EastEnders, answered questions from people with autism, neurodiversity, and learning disabilities in a new series called The Assembly.
EastEnders icon Danny Dyer was questioned about sending his children to private school as he was forced to defend his working-class roots. The Football Factory star has daughter Sunnie, Love Island daughter Dani and son Arty, who he recently sent to private school.
The 47-year-old Rivals actor recently answered difficult questions from autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled people for a new ITV series where no questions are off-limits. The show, called The Assembly, had one audience member ask: “How working class was it to send your son to a private school?” Danny, who waited for the jeering to die down, said it was a ‘good question’ before answering the person.

He continued, “I’m very proud of my roots, but I want to live in a place where there is a lot of crime, especially now that my house is constantly being surrounded by helicopters and sirens?”
“Of course, you don’t,” You want to move to a better place where you can raise your children, so what you want to do is earn some money first.
You want to give your children everything you can when they grow up. Because they are no longer streetwise, it occasionally backfires on you.
When I was younger, I either had to take the bus or walk everywhere. My kids, I don’t believe they ever went on a f***ing bus. They don’t, don’t they? because a Bentley drives them door-to-door.
Other celebrities to be interviewed in the show include Doctor Who’s David Tennant, BBC presenter Gary Lineker and singer Jade Thirlwall.
Danny also acknowledged during the conversation that he had left EastEnders in 2022 and that he didn’t want to see Mick Carter’s character bumped off by Janine Butcher’s plot.
The actor said he made the “emotional” decision to leave the BBC soap in disappointment over Mick’s storylines, which had seen him split up from long-term love Linda, played by Kellie Bright.
Danny claimed that the soap had saved him when his career was on the verge of a knife edge in 2013, and that his decision to leave EastEnders was “emotional.”
When I realized I had made a lot of mistakes in my life, no one would hire me again, and EastEnders said, “We love you, we want to put you in the Queen Vic.” He recalls that having bailiffs at my door saved my life, “the first four years were incredible.
However, things changed after producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins, who is now the man behind Disney+’s Rivals, teamed up with Janine, played by Charlie Brooks, and left the show.
“A new producer came in and he didn’t like the Carters,” Danny says. “He started to sack people – my son, my daughter – they’ve still got Kellie Bright in it, who plays my wife, Linda Carter. But then they split me up from Kellie and put me with Janine. When they told me I said: ‘Janine? But she murders people!’
