For years, Danny Dyer has been a regular fixture on our screens.
From hard-hitting roles in The Football Factory and Mean Machine, to embodying the beloved Mick Carter on BBC's EastEnders, he's tackled quite a range of performances.
Danny, 47, has recently showcased his talents in the fresh flick Marching Powder, but his latest telly gig is getting him to open up about his private life.
In ITV's unique programme, The Assembly, the actor joins other celebs who are interviewed by a panel of autistic, neurodivergent, and learning disabled interviewers, where no question is off the table.
Danny gets personal during the show when discussing his marriage to Joanne Mas. Here's a look at the couple's romance.
Who is Danny's wife?
Danny and Joanne Mas have been together since their early teens, having first met when they were 14 years old.
The couple started dating in 1992, welcoming their first daughter, Dani, in 1996, before briefly breaking up after her birth. Their on-off romance regularly hit the headlines at the time due to numerous cheating allegations, reports OK!
But love triumphed, and they reunited, going on to have their second daughter, Sunnie Jo, in 2007 and son Arty in 2014.
When did Danny and Joanne marry?
Joanne, who worked as a financial advisor before Danny found fame, flipped tradition on its head and proposed to Danny on Valentine's Day 2015, a gutsy gesture that the actor admits he "loved."
Reflecting on her decision to pop the question herself, she revealed to HELLO! Magazine: "I've always wanted to marry Danny, and I decided that if I didn't get things moving, it would never happen. I never wanted to get married when the children were babies because I wanted to let my hair down and enjoy the day."
Danny and Joanne exchanged vows in Hampshire back in September 2016 - a celebration that was exclusively covered by HELLO! Magazine.
On the big day, Danny gushed to the magazine, saying: "To be standing here with the girl I grew up with - looking so beautiful in her wedding dress - that is a lovely thing. Jo is my best girl - the love of my life. Without her, I would be nothing."
Who are Danny's children?
Following in their dad's famous footsteps, Danny and Joanne's brood have also pursued fame. Their eldest daughter, Dani, aged 28, is a star in her own right.
Topping Love Island as the 2018 champion and competing on Survival of the Fittest, Dani has become a well-known influencer, collaborating with brands like InTheStyle. Furthermore, she co-hosts the Live and Let Dyers podcast with her celeb dad.
Dani is mum to son Santiago with ex Sammy Kimmence, as well as daughters Star and Summer with her fiancé, West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen - with whom she got engaged in 2024.
Meanwhile, Sunnie, who is now 18, often shares her passion for fashion and travel on social media, much like her older sister, and has begun to accompany her famous father to red carpet events, including his most recent film premieres. She also made an appearance on ITV's Big Star's Little Star in 2015.
Arty, the youngest member of the Dyer family at 10 years old, has already had his first taste of the film industry, starring alongside Danny in the film Marching Powder earlier this year.
Danny has previously opened up about his role as a devoted grandfather to Dani's children, sharing that he takes care of the three little ones when Dani and Jarrod are both away.
During an interview on KISS FM, the EastEnders actor revealed: "Dani's going to Germany, and so I've got all the grandkids. It'll be hard work trying to watch it with three kids under three in my house, a barking bulldog, a ten-year-old son, and a menopausal wife. Wish me luck, everyone, because that's a combination that, init."
The Assembly airs on ITV1 on Saturday, 28 April at 10.05pm
