Danny Dyer set to host 'Have I Got News For You'
Danny Dyer is gearing up to host the satirical news quiz Have I Got News For You, according to reports.
The EastEnders star will appear on the long-running panel show next month, and has apparently impressed show bosses with his ‘everyman approach’.
A BBC source added to The Sun that it will give viewers a break from the ‘endless posh presenters’.
“Beeb bosses think he makes dull topics accessible, and they think he’ll do a good job at holding the fort on Have I Got News For You,” the source said.
“All being well, he’ll front the show next month and the public will get more of his succinct views on the state of Britain.”
It would not be the first time that Dyer’s views on politics would have come to the fore on a panel show.
In an interview on a Good Morning Britain spin-off on ITV called Good Evening Britain over the summer, Dyer appeared opposite Jeremy Corbyn calling for David Cameron to be held accountable for calling the referendum on Brexit.
“No one has got a f***ing clue what Brexit is,” he said.
“No one knows what it is, it’s like this mad riddle. No one knows what it is, right. So what’s happened to that t**t David Cameron? Let’s be fair… How come he can scuttle off? He called this on. Where is he?

“He’s in Europe, in Nice, with his trotters up. Where is the geezer? I think he should be held accountable for it.”
Seconds later, Dyer threw in another ‘t**t’ for good measure.
