Awks.
Lads, Danny Dyer left a number of people fairly pissed off on Sunday night.
The actor was presenting an award at the Oliver Awards in London, when he made a pretty uncomfortable joke about Camilla Parker Bowles.
Danny, who is known for having a crude enough sense of humour, spotted the Duchess of Cornwall.
He said:
“Shout out to the Duchess up there. No Charlie tonight I see. I’ll pop up and see you later.”
It seems harmless.
But she is the future Queen of England in fairness, so you can see why people took offence.
In fact, the BBC removed the snippet from their coverage of the event, for fear of offending Camilla.
An insider told The Sun:
“Danny’s known for his cheeky humour but bosses were hoping he’d keep it in check – especially as Camilla was in the audience.”
“The ceremony is very formal so anything close to the line makes producers nervous.”
“Some saw his gag as a step too far. It had to be cut from the final broadcast, no question. It could have upset the Duchess.”
We’d like to think Camilla would have laughed it off like a champ.
This awkward joke comes just a month after Danny met Prince Charles at an event, and told him they were related.
“I’m in EastEnders. Just wanted to let you know we’re related as well,” he said.
“King Edward III is my grandfather – but I won’t go into it. No he is, on my life.”
Charles later revealed that he had “discovered a long-lost relation with Daniel Dyer”.
“He told me he was descended from Edward III, which is interesting. I must do some research when I get back.”
See? They’re all getting along like family.
