Despite whats going on in front of the cameras, Matt Di Angelo gets on well with Danny Dyer. ‘Hes got a bad rep, but hes a very humble family man, says Matt, 27. ‘And he is very funny. Weve got good banter. ‘ The soap stars are so close that they like to have a laugh together outside of work too, though it sometimes gets a bit competitive. ‘Well work together for about five or six hours a day and then well go home and hell ring me and well have a game of FIFA online, Matt tells Fabulous Magazine. ‘He beat me, which made me angry and I smashed up my PlayStation.

Im going to be a completely different landlord to Alfie Moon and Im not nervous. Dannys famed for his straight-talking approach and realised early on that he might have to rein it in a bit if he wants to stay on EastEnders. ‘The pressure to do well is not on screen - its off, the dad-of-three told the Mirror in 2013. ‘According to Coral bookies, Ive got a 16-1 chance of being sacked within six months.
