HELLO! exclusive: Danny Dyer reveals hands-off approach to wedding planning

With his wedding to childhood sweetheart Joanne Mas approaching, Danny Dyer has admitted that his involvement in the preparations has been pretty limited.The star spoke to HELLO! about his hands-off approach to the big day as he took part in a photoshoot on London's Savile Row, along with the couple's adorable two-year-old son Arty, who will act as pageboy.

"I am only now starting to think about my whistle," Danny revealed, using the cockney rhyming slang – "whistle and flute" for "suit". "I want to go for a Sean Connery vibe. I love the 1960s and would love a ’60s-style suit with a crisp white shirt and skinny black tie."

He doesn't know what Jo will be wearing, but knows what he would like. "I have an image in my head of how I would like Jo to look. She would be in a dress with a big skirt, bare shoulders, no veil, with her hair down and quite wild, maybe with a tiara on top. She always looks beautiful, so whatever she wears, I know I won’t be disappointed.

While Danny has largely taken a backseat on wedding planning, he's tried to inject a bit of East End culture into what will be a largely Spanish-themed wedding day – his bride is half Spanish.

"I have suggested having a stylish version of pie and mash with liquor and chilli vinegar on a spoon," he said. "I was going to have jellied eels but I’m not sure that everyone will like them. But we may have mini ham, egg and chips, which is what I was brought up on."

And naturally he has some nerves before the big day in September. "You'd think that I would be prepared for my own wedding day, but I am very nervous about it," he admitted.
