EastEnders star Danny Dyer has revealed that he thought he was "going to die" after battling drug abuse on the set of the BBC One soap opera. While discussing his diazepam dependency during a podcast with actress Jaime Winstone the Mick Carter actor claimed that he had to "sort [himself] out" during the difficult period, which was around the same time he married his wife Joanne Mas.
"I knew I had to f**king sort myself out because I'd been – sorry about my language – I'd been a c**t up to this point in the sense of what I was doing, what I was doing away from her, some of the situations I would find myself in," he told host Jaime.
He continued: "I look back and go: 'F**king hell man, I was weak'. I was wounded. I was vulnerable but of course I couldn't play vulnerable because I'm playing Danny Dyer, whatever that is."
