Danny Dyer left stony-faced after Philip Schofield's joke in VERY awkward Soap Awards moment

Danny Dyer was left unamused by a joke Philip Schofield made at his expense live on air at the British Soap Awards on June 1.

The EastEnders actor, 41, failed to crack a smile as host Phil made the jibe in front of the audience at The Lowry Theatre in Manchester, as well as thousands watching at home, The Mirror reports.

Cracking the joke might not have been host Phillip's best idea, considering the fact Danny lost his temper last year at the ceremony just days after daughter Dani entered the Love Island villa.

This evening, Phil began the show by making jokes about various soap stars in the audience.

He quickly got round to Danny, who looked stone-faced when his name was mentioned.

After speaking to Jack P Shepherd about his character's new barbershop Trim Up North, Phil said: "We've also been joined by EastEnders' Danny Dyer, who I'm told is a big fan of the Trim Down South."

After making the joke, he tried to get a response from the soap star, saying: "Isn't that right Danny?"

When the actor failed to respond, he laughed awkwardly as Danny turned to the person sitting next to him, ignoring Phil.

Viewers were left bemused, with one remarking: "Danny dyers [sic] face then don't think he liked that joke Phil #soapawards."

While another commented: "What’s up with Danny dyer crabbit mug #soapawards2019 #SoapAwards."

A third remarked: "Danny Dyer is a miserable sod #SoapAwards."

Yesterday evening's ceremony aired live from the Lowry Theatre in Manchester and among those vying for gongs were Danny Dyer, Jack P Shepherd, Alison King and Stephanie Davis.
