Danny Dyer says fans kept telling him EastEnders was unpopular before he decided to quit

Danny Dyer has lifted the lid on his bombshell departure from EastEnders, revealing that he felt as though ‘didn’t know’ who he was playing anymore in long-running character, Mick Carter.

The much-loved actor, 45, who played Mick on the BBC One soap for almost a decade, has revealed that he felt like the loveable barman had 'lost his way' in recent years.

Although he enjoyed over nine years on Albert Square, having first landed in Walford back in 2013, Danny felt the time was right to depart the show late last year when he felt like he didn't quite know who Mick was anymore.
