‘I can’t wait for my wife to turn into Carol’: Danny Dyer says he thinks he’s ‘more in love’ with his mother-in-law than his WIFE Joanne Mas

He is married to Joanne Mas, with whom he shares three children – Dani, 24, Sunnie, 13, and Arty, seven. 

And Danny Dyer has said that he is excited for his wife to turn into her mother, Carol, as she gets older, as he joked he is ‘in love’ with his other half’s mother.

The EastEnders star, 43, was speaking with his daughter Dani on their podcast Sorted With The Dyers when he said he thinks he’s ‘more in love’ with his ‘mother-in-law than his wife’.

He said: ‘You know a lot of men don’t like their mother-in-laws… I think I’m more in love with my mother-in-law than my wife.

‘I do love her very, very much. What they say is you look at your wife and then you look at your mother-in-law and that’s what your wife will turn into. 

‘I can’t wait for my wife to turn into Carol.’ 

Danny married Jo in September 2016, after she proposed to him on Valentine’s Day the year before.

His oldest daughter Dani is set to welcome her first child with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence later this month. 

Speaking on their podcast, the Mick Carter actor revealed that he’s nicknamed his grandchild ‘the chav’. 

The actor jokingly referred to his grandchild-to-be in the pejorative term, often used to describe anti-social lower-class youths.

Love Island champion Dani appeared to take the comment in stride as he chatted with her screen star father about her imminent due date. 

During their chat, Danny excitedly declared of his daughter’s first child with her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence: ‘The Chav’s coming – it’s on its way!’

Dani asked her dad if he would be on hand to support her through labour, prompting Danny to respond: ‘As long as it’s nice and quick for you, it doesn’t matter if I’m in the waiting room or indoors with my feet up eating some crisps.’

The nickname ‘chav’ appears to to be far from unfamiliar within the Dyer household, as Danny has affectionately referred to Dani as such in Instagram posts in the past.
