Danny Dyer has taken a swipe at Olly Murs, accusing the singer of making “really s*** music”.

The actor and presenter appeared on his podcast Sorted with the Dyers on Wednesday (6 January) where he questioned daughter Dani, who is pregnant with her first child, about her birth plans.

“Do you think that when you’re in labour, have you got a playlist?” he asked the Love Island winner.

“How about if you listened to some really s*** music and then that might help? Say you kick off with Olly Murs?”

It’s not the first time Dyer has criticised Murs’s music, first taking aim at The Voice coach in 2015.

During an interview on BBC Radio 1, The Wall host Dyer asked presenter Greg James not to play Murs’s music.

“Do you have to play Olly Murs?” he asked. “Can you not play something else? Just pull a tune out?”

The Independent has contacted Murs’s representatives for comment.

Dyer began his Spotify podcast Sorted with the Dyers in October, with listeners encouraged to send in dilemmas for the father-daughter duo to answer.

During a recent episode, Dyer opened up about going on his first date with wife Jo when they were 14, admitting that he initially thought he was being pranked when she asked him out.

“I thought it was going to be like Carrie, she was going to set me up in some sports hall and tip pig’s blood on me,” he said. “But no, she took me to Pizza Hut. It was amazing.”
