“It’s driven him mad at times and he’s now ready for a change. But it hasn’t been easy to walk away. BBC bosses have been desperate to keep him. But he’s been insistent and when Sky approached they gave him an offer he couldn’t refuse. It’s a new chapter for Dan and he’s over the moon.”
The insider continued by saying that there has been a lot of tension as Danny Dyer is their most popular star. Although they said that they feel sad to see him go, it is an understatement since they could not convince him in the end.
