TV hardman Danny Dyer's big secret is out - he loves to look after scared spiders.
The EastEnders star, 41, loves the little creatures and can't think of anything worse than squashing them.
Dani made the revelation - among others - Dani Dyer opens up about heartbreak that left mum Jo fearing star would kill herself.
She writes in What Would Dani Do that her tough-guy dad is actually a softie and hasn't got a nasty bone in his body.
"Dad is such a wuss he wouldn’t hurt a fly," the 22-year-old says.
"Definitely not a spider, anyway. He’s convinced himself that spiders have family somewhere who would miss them if they died.
"‘What if someone squashes a male spider and his wife is sat in her web in the corner of the room wondering why he hasn’t come home for his supper?’.
"And he also sees spiders like his room-mates. If I clock a spider on the ceiling he will say to me, ‘There’s no point in killing your roommate, is there?'
"I just laugh at him when he’s like that. He’s such an absolute idiot sometimes."

The former Love Island winner says Danny didn't understand the 'concept of being a dad' when she was growing up.
"He was away a lot with work," she says. "And he’ll be the first to admit this was the period in time when he was partying like mad and going off the rails.
"I don’t think he really understood the concept of being a dad. But it also meant he felt guilty so he would buy me everything."

Meanwhile Dani, who split with her boyfriend Jack Fincham last week as she went on a publicity tour for her new book, has fallen out with a close friend.
Love Island co-star Georgia Steel isn't speaking to her after ditching her 21st birthday celebrations.
Dani said on Sunday Brunch: "We're not talking right now.
"She's not happy with me. We were meant to be going to see Drake next week and I don't think I'm invited. We'll see."
