Ex-EastEnders star Danny Dyer has said that he plans to leave “half a million” to his dog Debbie in his will. The 45-year-old actor’s net worth is estimated to be around £4 million.
Speaking on Kathy Burke’s podcast Where There’s A Will, There’s a Wake, Danny said: "I got her just before the pandemic, and what I didn’t realise about bulldogs is they look f**king sad all the time. So I feel I need to give her something or get some proper carers for her, give her a flat with a carpet. Give her whatever she wants out of guilt."
He added: "Also, it would wind my missus up. She’d be like, ‘You’ve given f**king half a million pounds to f**king Debbie?’” Would you do a similar thing? Let us know in the comments.

Danny married childhood sweetheart Jo in 2016 and the couple share three children together: Dani, Sunnie and Arty. As mentioned, bulldog Debbie entered the family’s life last year.
Danny once described Debbie as his “illegitimate child." At the time he said: “Debbie is an incredible little thing. But it’s quite hard work. I’ve also got a wife that hates animals – it’s like I’ve brought in a child from another marriage.”
Last Christmas Danny left EastEnders after working on the BBC soap opera since 2014. His character, Mick Carter, seemingly drowned after he went into the sea to save wife Linda - some fans have speculated that Mick isn’t really dead though.
Since leaving the show Danny has made numerous other television appearances including on Channel 4’s Scared Of The Dark and he’ll soon star in new Channel 5 drama Heat. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
