Danny Dyer is gearing up for the ‘party of the year’ – his eldest daughter Dani’s wedding day.
But it comes at a cost for the 47-year-old soap star, who got emotional speaking about the big day as he appeared on Heart Radio on Friday morning.
Love Island’s Dani, 28, is marrying West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen in a lavish ‘traditional’ ceremony later in the spring this year.
Her former EastEnders actor dad – whose known for being quite a tough character – admitted to hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston that he will ‘sob everywhere’ during their nuptials when the time eventually comes.
When asked about how he’s feeling about the wedding and if he’ll ‘shed a tear or two?’, he confessed: ‘Oh, I’ll be sobbing and snotting everywhere.’
Danny, who is a proud father-of-three, added: ‘I’ve got to try and retain myself, so I don’t look like too much of a mess.’

Danny then praised Dani’s future husband Jared, 28, describing him as an ‘incredible’ man.
‘And I’ve said this many times, if you’re going to give your daughter away, give her away to the West Ham captain,’ he joked.
As the big day is fast approaching, it’s all guns blazing.
