Danny Dyer made a candid admission about his marriage troubles with his wife Joanne Mas, 48, who he revealed once kicked him out of their family home. The former EastEnders star took on tough grilling from an audience of people with autism and learning disabilities during an episode of ITV’s The Assembly.

With no subject off limits, one member asked Danny: “When Jo kicked you out she emptied your shared joint bank account, do you still have a shared bank account now?” The star was taken aback and joked that he was going to give the girl a hug before she asked the stinging question. However, Danny admitted he was previously thrown out and said: “I was a p***k and she deserved better.”

He recalled: “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.”

Danny and Joanne’s relationship began in 1992, and together they have three children including Love Island's Dani, 27, daughter Sunnie, 17, and son Arty, six.

The Rivals star previously admitted to being guilty of cheating before they married in 2016.

Speaking to The Times, Danny said: "It was a mad period. I do now realise what's important to me are my family. They are everything.

“I tried to fill it with the drink and drugs and doing stupid things. I was a lost soul, I had a ‘f*** it’ button, and I would destroy relationships before I could be left.”

During the episode, Danny was also questioned about sending his son to a private school despite his reputation as a proud East Ender.

An audience member questioned: “How working-class was it to send your son to a private school?”

“He responded: “I'm very proud of my roots, but do I want to be living in an environment where, especially at the moment where there's helicopters going over my house all the time and sirens all the time, a lot of crime? Of course you don't.

"So what you want to do is, you want to earn some money and then move to a better area where you can bring your children up.

“When you have kids, you want to give them everything you can,” However, he acknowledged, “Sometimes it backfires on you slightly because now they're not street-wise.”
