EastEnders bosses are now putting TCP in the Queen Vic pumps to stop Danny Dyer drinking

According to the legend that is Danny Dyer, EastEnders bosses have to put the antiseptic TCP in the Queen Vic pumps during filming to stop him knocking back booze on set.

Now that’s an extreme measure if ever we’ve heard one!


But in his new autobiography, The World According To Danny Dyer, the 38-year-old, who plays Mick Carter in the BBC One soap, admitted 

Beeb bosses have taken the step to stop him having cheeky half pints at the end of filming after a long day.


‘I sometimes have a half at the end of the day in The Queen Vic, though they started putting TCP in the pumps to stop me drinking it,’ Dyer revealed.


But Dyer assures fans he still gets to have plenty of fun on set, even without the booze, adding: ‘There’s still time for a few laughs.’


But Danny needn’t worry about his booze ban as he’s building his very own Queen Vic in his house.


‘I’m just about to move into my dream house. 

It’s got a little annex which I’m turning into The Queen Vic,’ he reveals in an excerpt from his book.

‘The prop boys are going to come in and build a mini version of it for me. 

I’ve already nicked an old sign they had. EastEnders has played a massive part in my life and it can be a little bit of a man cave for me.’
