The figures follow an especially busy period for Dyer, who has barely been off screen since leaving EastEnders.He starred in Channel 5 thriller Heat and BBC comedy Henpocalypse! before landing Rivals and Mr Bigstuff, both of which returned for second series.He also returned to the big screen in 2025 with football hooligan comedy Marching Powder and festive films Christmas Karma and Tinsel Town, before joining Rivals co-star Emily Atack to host ITV game show Nobody’s Fool this year.Dyer has also moved into reality television with his daughter Dani in The Dyers’ Caravan Park, which followed the pair as they invested in a holiday park on the Isle of Sheppey. The programme became Sky’s biggest entertainment launch in five years and was renewed for a second series and a Christmas special, while earlier this month he hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live UK.Dyer’s career began more than three decades ago, when he appeared in Prime Suspect 3 in 1993, aged 16, before going on to star in Human Traffic.But the father of three has admitted his three children struggle to imagine the life he led before finding fame.Speaking to Sky News in January 2025, he said they were ‘petrified of getting out of the car’ when he took them back to Custom House, where he grew up.‘I’m very proud of my roots. I’ve tried not to lose that. Unfortunately, I’ve got kids that are quite privileged, so they don’t really understand,’ he said.‘Sometimes I drive back to Custom House, where I was brought up, and the kids (are) in the back and they’re petrified of getting out of the car, which is a real shame.’Dyer, who shares daughters Dani and Sunnie and son Arty with Joanne, added: ‘They can’t believe that their dad lived on a council estate.‘But I think it gives you a good work ethic. And I think the classism thing is … there’s a lot of isms in the world, and I think everybody has to deal with it at some point in their life.‘And it just made me a lot more determined and ambitious, really.’
