‘There’s a new geezer in town!’ Danny Dyer vows to knock Ant and Dec off the top spot as he battles to become the new king of Saturday night TV
Danny Dyer has vowed to become the new king of Saturday night TV and claims he will knock veteran presenters Ant and Dec off their perch.
The actor, 42, joked that there’s a ‘new geezer in town’ as he discussed his new game show with The One Show presenters Patrick Kielty and Michelle Ackerley on Friday.
The EastEnders star is set to debut his new show dubbed The Wall on Saturday night, and is already planning to become the new face of Saturday night TV.

During his appearance, Patrick told him: ‘We love that you’re bringing a bit of danger to Saturday night. I think Ant and Dec are going to be worried.’
He responded: ‘I think they’ve had a good run, but there’s a new geezer in town.’
The game show centres around pairs of contestants as balls quickly fall through The Wall, which works like a penny machine in an arcade.

They then land in slots at the bottom of the wall which represent different values of cash, which are then added to or subtracted from their scores.
The show initially had huge success stateside and Danny no doubt hopes that the same will happen over here.
After being given the news that he was the face of the new show, Danny said: ”I thought they were on drugs!
‘Really, you want me to do a game show, filmed in Poland? I was very confused by it all, to be honest. But I watched the American version and I thought you know what, let’s have a go…’
Ant and Dec have been awarded 18 Best Presenter gongs at the National TV Awards over the course of their long-running career.
The Sun previously revealed that the BBC were pinning their hopes on Danny for a successful show following a series of low-ratings misses.
