Previously speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Danny admitted: “I didn’t have an audition, they rung me up, I had a touch. They said, ‘Listen we want you to come in the show, take over the Queen Vic’ and at the time I was skint and I just had about enough petrol money to get there, that’s the truth.

“They thought I was a multimillionaire and I met them in the hotel and I walked in absolutely skint, not a bean about me. I thought, I hope they don’t ask me to get them a lager because I’ve got no dough.”

He confessed that he attempted to “play down” his enthusiasm at being offered the part, as he didn’t want to “look desperate” in front of BBC executives.

He added: “I went, ‘I’ll think about it’ and then I walked out and I did a couple of backflips on the way out! I played it right down, I didn’t want to look desperate and I was desperate.”
