Danny Dyer calls on government to help ‘council estate kids’ get into acting

EastEnders star and all round geezer Danny Dyer has called on the government to help working class kids from ‘council estates’ get into the world of acting. He said they need more opportunities

Danny Dyer has pleaded with the new government to help “kids from council estates” get into acting.

The former EastEnders star has said it is a “f**king disgrace” that working class folk don’t get the same chances as “posh” actors.

And Danny, 47, inset, reckons Sir Keir Starmer needs to redress the balance as there is a “disconnect” between the elite and the rest of the country.

He said: “The new government must start addressing the lack of working-class people in the arts.

“It’s vital we give young kids from council estates opportunities to make something of their lives.
