BITTER RIVALS: How Danny Dyer and Mark Wright’s feud began… and resulted in V Festival scuffle
It all started when the EastEnders hard man slated the TOWIE star back in 2013
IT’S safe to say there is no love lost between Danny Dyer and Mark Wright, a rivalry that resulted in an explosive physical and verbal row at the V Festival yesterday.
The pair came to blows at Hylands Park in Chelmsford and Dyer was jumped in a five-on-one punch up against Wright’s friends backstage.
Their long-running feud erupted just a few days after the EastEnders star got into a Twitter row with Mark’s brother over a comment he made dissing the DJ’s radio station and recent ad campaign for yoghurt.
He tweeted: "My worst nightmare would be listening to Heart FM while eating an Oykos yoghurt. It would be like p***ing razorblades."
Mark’s brother Joshua wasn’t going to let the comment slide and replied, referring to Danny’s hated nickname, he wrote: “Malcolm you must still be hurting from when Mark gave you a slap in the changing room that day.”
He then added: “get over it you melt”. “At a charity football match 4 Terminally ill children then run behind his dad. What a geezer. My bird hits harder.”
Joshua commented: “Not sure it happened like that mate you ran your mouth as always and pushed him into corner so he protected himself by slapping you.”
But Dyer replied: “We all know what happened. He took a bang liberty. End of. He aint a bit of me. Crack on.”
Later on, Dyer, who stars as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter referred back to the spat and tweeted: “Hardly a dig. The fact I suffered it was there was kids waiting outside with months to live. He’s a disgrace.”

He also added: “We all know what happened. He took a bang liberty. End of. He aint a bit of me. Crack on.”
But before this social media row with Mark’s brother, Dyer made a dig at Mark during an interview with Digital Spy back in 2013.
He said he once got mistaken for him while eating in a café and added: “It put me right off my beans. Again, I don't know him, but he's everything I hate about this whole celebrity world.
"It's mainly because of some of his quotes saying he wants to be the next James Bond. If he's the next James Bond, it's over for me. It's the arrogance of it all - it irritates me. Mark's not up my street, he'll never be a mate of mine. Good luck to him, just stay away from me."
