Danny Dyer is back in the buff in series two of Sky’s Mr Bigstuff as he revealed he ‘ran through a council estate naked’.
The actor, 47, portrays geezer Lee, who rocks up to his brother Glen’s carpet factory hoping for a new chapter, in the Sky series, which will return to screens on Thursday.
Danny has now joked about striping off in ‘broad daylight’ and how he was worried about it being ‘too cold’.
Laughing, the former EastEnders star told The Sun: ‘Ever run through a council estate naked? It’s a whole new ball game, literally.
‘I was concentrating on the weather, more than anything else, you know, that it wasn’t too cold! It was broad daylight. I didn’t go fully [nude], I had a little sock over my Hampton.’
Danny said he didn’t mind filming naked scenes as it was important to the storyline with his character chasing down a thug, who threw a brick through a window.

He added: ‘You read this stuff, and you go, ‘OK, I’ve got to physically do it’. But it’s important to the show, it’s a vital scene. You go, ‘He’s back’. It’s the way of showing the alpha is back.’
The show follows two estranged and rather contrasting brothers, Glen (Ryan Sampson) and Lee (Danny), as they discover that their father, who they thought was dead, is actually alive.
It comes after Danny opened up about his daughter Dani Dyer’s wedding to West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, calling it ‘the best day of his life’.
The celebrity couple tied the knot in a ‘Bridgerton-themed’ wedding on May 31 at the plush £500-a-night Langley Hotel in Iver, Buckinghamshire.
Dani wowed on the occasion in a £10,000 off-the-shoulder dress created by the award-winning wedding dress designer Suzanne Neville.
Jarrod – who wiped away tears as Danny walked his daughter towards the alter – wore a three-piece black suit for the ceremony.
Danny, a lifelong Hammers supporter, has regularly gushed about the fact his daughter’s seeing his favourite footballer.
And he amusingly told Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Heart Breakfast about that on Dani’s wedding day he gave her away to the ‘man of his dreams’.

Speaking about the wedding, he told the hosts: ‘I was in pieces, darling.
‘The best day of my life. Honestly, it was just so beautiful.
‘I managed, you know, to give my daughter away to the man of my dreams – I don’t think that’s ever happened in the history of any father giving their daughter away!
‘So it was the perfect day. Let me tell you that now, it was just beautiful.’
It comes as Danny is reportedly teaming up with acting heavyweight Stephen Graham for a powerful new TV drama – and it’s tipped to go head-to-head with 2025’s biggest hit, Adolescence.
The pair, who last worked together in the 2009 cult horror Doghouse, are in early talks to create a hard-hitting series tackling some of the toughest issues facing society today.
A source told The Mirror: ‘It’s a gritty new drama. They are currently thrashing out what they want to do but it will be in the vein of Adolescence. Something unflinching and moving.’
Adolescence, which starred Stephen and was co-created by him and writer Jack Thorne, has become Netflix‘s most-watched series of the year.
It sparked a national debate and was even discussed in Parliament over its depiction of teenage misogyny and online safety.
The series, which follows a father whose teenage son is arrested for murder, hit No1 in 71 countries and clocked up a staggering 66.3 million views in just two weeks.

After the shortlist for this year’s Emmy awards was announced on Tuesday, it was revealed Adolescence received 13 nominations.
Of those Emmy Award nominations, Owen Cooper who starred as Jamie Miller in the series has become one of the youngest nominees ever.
He is up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Anthology Series or Movie category at the Primetime.
And at just 15-years-old the school boy will be the youngest-ever male winner in the 76-year history of the ‘TV Oscars’ if he scoops the accolade for his role in Adolescence.
Danny, 47, has publicly praised Stephen’s work on the globally successful series, saying: ‘It’s such an important subject, Steve. You’ve got to roll me into something. I want a bit of this.’
Away from the cameras, it is reported the duo are also planning to reunite on a more personal level, organising a double date with wives Joanne Mas and Hannah Walters.
MailOnline has contacted Danny and Stephen’s representatives.
