DANNY Dyer got a naughty send-off gift from his EastEnders castmates after shooting his final scenes as Mick Carter.
The BBC soap legend, 45, will bow out of the show in dramatic scenes that will air on Christmas Day – but his fellow actors made sure they gave him a farewell pressie he’ll never forget.
Danny’s leaving gift from the show didn’t go down well with wife, Jo
Mick’s exit scenes will revolve around Janine being exposed
Speaking exclusively to HOAR, Danny revealed: “I got my Albert Square board and they bought me a sign.”
And it turns out the sign was rather explicit.
The rude sign — spelling out, “Shoot the c**t” — was never going to make Danny blush, famed as he is for his effin’ and blindin’.
But he revealed it was an “in” joke from his TV family which has gone down a whole lot less well with his real-life wife, Jo Mas.
Danny explains of his years on set of the soap: “Basically, I would say, ‘Shall we shoot the c***?’ — meaning the scene. I know it is unpalatable but it is something I would say.
“Anyway, I’ve had some issues with my wife about hanging this neon sign in the house The missus ain’t having it. It is in the office at the mo.”
It wasn’t all potty-mouthed parting gifts though as he said goodbye to the Square after nine years.
Danny admits there was genuine emotion as he blubbed like a softie while saying farewells to his fellow cast at a leaving bash.
The party was organised by close pal Kellie Bright, who played his screen wife Linda.
Danny said: “A part of me just wanted to duck out because it was emotional for me. I did a little speech. There were a lot of tears and there was a trailer of the best bits.
“It would have been easier to go out the back door. But Kellie organised something proper and I’m glad we did it.”
The storyline around how Mick will leave the show remains under wraps but fans will see his scheming new bride Janine exposed.
As viewers know, she was responsible for the car crash that Linda believes was her fault.
And dramatic scenes on Christmas Day will see the fallout of Janine being unmasked having shocking consequences that will reverberate around Walford.
