Danny Dyer loves to knit in between ‘EastEnders’ scenes.
The 40-year-old actor – who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in the BBC One soap – has become a big fan of making jumpers and scarves during his downtime from the show, and he is so talented with a knitting needle that people have asked him to make them some winter clothing items.
He is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I’m a bit of a dab hand with the knitting stuff.
"I’m getting orders for jumpers and scarves. It’s relaxing, too."
Danny isn’t the only member of the Carter family who is a dab hand at knitting.
His on-screen wife Kellie Bright (Linda Carter) and Luisa Bradshaw-White – who plays Mick’s aunt Tina Carter in ‘EastEnders’ – love to knit in the show’s green room.
Former ‘Bad Girls’ star Luisa told Inside Soap magazine: "We’ve got all these mad things that we’re making.
"I like to make simple things, like snoods – I’ve made them for half the cast already, and now they all want one."
Isy Suttie recently admitted she is a big fan of knitting in between takes on Channel 4 sitcom ‘Damned’, and she would love to appear in ‘EastEnders’ as a knitting serial killer.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I don’t think I’m really in ‘EastEnders’ casting directors’ minds, but maybe if I have a word with Himesh I could be.
"My character could be a knitter and she could knit something to cover her tracks, that’s a good idea.
"I will write it. If the part gets made then nobody else can play my part, it can’t be someone from ‘Downton Abbey’, it’s got to be me."
