HER LOOKS AND HER SINGING

Why I’ll never leave Danny

- BY HALINA WATTS Showbiz Editor

Life with Kieran ‘gets better and better’ Danny and Jo DANNY Dyer’s loyal wife Jo Mas is sticking by him following his hell-raising behaviour, as friends say: “They will always be together.”

Soap star Danny, who married childhood sweetheart Jo in September after 19 years together, has been staying apart from his family at a four-star hotel near the Eastenders set in Elstree after he got back in touch with a string of “wrong ‘uns”.

His family live 19 miles away and he ended up missing Father’s Day because he was holed up at the hotel.

It was reported last week that he had a fling with pop singer Sarah Harding, 35, in 2012. But sources close to Danny and Jo say they “won’t let this come between them”.

Danny, 39, has himself admitted he has done things over the years that hurt Jo, 40.

He said in one interview: “I’ve done so many things I’ve regretted. I’ve royally f***ed up.” But in her first-ever interview in 2015, Jo told how she’d put his indiscreti­ons behind her. She said: “Every once in a while I might throw a bag of crisps at his head and go, ‘Hello, I’m here’. Yeah, he has had his wild times, but he’s got that out of his system.”

Danny, who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter, and Jo have three children together.

Earlier this year, he took a six-week break from Eastenders over “concerns” about his behaviour.

A spokesman said of his living arrangemen­ts: “He’s filming as usual – nothing has changed. Sometimes, if cast members have an early or late call, they stay nearby.”

number 12 in 2006. She admits she had to “beg” X Factor reject Craig Colton to give her his song I Got You. She says: “I’m feeling confident because I can actually sing this song live. This is my dream.” She performed the song on Loose Women. It was panned – but has since reached number 12 in the itunes dance charts. And Craig, 28, is optimistic. “She’s done a great job,” he says as the launch ends. But, as ever, disappoint­ment is never far away in Katie’s world – this time in the shape of a parking ticket. “They always do that to me,” she says in bewilderme­nt. And with that she’s off in her bright pink Range Rover…
