Soap Awards 2019: Danny Dyer 'fuming' over Phillip Schofield's joke in VERY awkward moment

Danny Dyer did not look happy tonight as Phillip Schofield made a joke about him during tonight's British Soap Awards.

The EastEnders actor, 57, failed to smile as host Phil ribbed him live on air.

This may not have been the best idea, considering the fact that Danny lost his temper last year at the ceremony just days after daughter Dani entered the 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 baffled, with one remarking: "Danny dyers 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."

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

Coronation Street will be hoping to clinch the title for Best Soap after triumphing during last year's awards.
