Danny Dyer, known for playing Mick Carter on EastEnders, has recently discussed both his personal and professional struggles during appearances on ITV's The Assembly. He described his decades-long marriage to Joanne Mas, highlighting challenges such as his infidelity, a brief separation, and Joanne's proposal to save their family. Dyer also admitted to a widely reported affair with Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding and episodes of substance abuse, both of which contributed to marital turmoil. The couple ultimately reconciled for the sake of their three children.
