Danny Dyer has spoken emotionally about the death of author Dame Jilly Cooper, describing her as "part of the fabric" of the Disney+ series Rivals, which is based on her best-selling novel. The actor reflected on the "tragic news" of her passing during the filming of the show's second series.
Dame Jilly, who died unexpectedly last October at the age of 88 following injuries from a fall, remains a palpable presence on set, according to Dyer. In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, the 48-year-old, who portrays businessman Freddie Jones in the award-winning drama, shared the profound impact of her loss.
