DANNY Dyer has spoken out about the death of his grandfather and confessed the trauma still haunts him today.
The 48-year-old opened up on his podcast with daughter Dani, Sorted with the Dyers , and revealed that he was just a teen when he was caring for his grandad.
EastEnders actor Danny said: “I remember when I cared for my grandad for the last six months of his life. I was very young,16.
“When you’re that close to death and when you’re that close to someone and you see the deterioration that’s really f***ing heavy.
“I remember it so vividly the last six months – a big strong man, my grandfather was this father figure to me. He was just a deterioration of a man and he completely gave up.”
But, despite the challenging time, Danny admitted that the time he and his grandad spent together made them closer.
He added: “Within six months we had a bed installed downstairs, he couldn’t get up, he couldn’t go to the toilet. We really bonded over those six months but it was just awful – something that still stays with me now.”
The Sun recently revealed that Danny, his wife Jo Mas and their family have been offered £1m by Channel 4 to star in their own reality show, when he makes his exit from EastEnders later this year.
The Keeping up With The Kardashians -style show would focus on the home life of Danny, Jo and their children, Love Island winner Dani , 25, daughter Sunnie, 14, and son Arty, eight.
A TV source said: "Once Danny is a free agent later this year, the sky's the limit.
"Channel 4 made him a lucrative offer that he's been tempted by and he knows his family would make really lively, fun TV as they're all so down-to-earth and people at home can relate to them."
Jo, 45, has previously said they had considered taking part in a family show.
She said: "We've been offered a reality show, but Danny is contracted at the BBC.
"We have always joked about it. People do say we need a show in our house because there's always a drama. One day we might do it."
