Danny Dyer has reignited his feud with former reality TV star Mark Wright.

Dyer, 39, has claimed that he was embroiled in a fight with Wright, 29, at a charity football match for terminally ill children.

Dyer branded Wright a “disgrace” and claimed that Wright went over to “hide” behind his father after the alleged fight.

The allegations were made during a Twitter feud between Dyer and Wright’s brother Joshua.

In a dig at Mark’s DJing and yoghurt adverts, Dyer tweeted: "My worst nightmare would be listening to Heart FM while eating an Oykos yoghurt. It would be like p****** razorblades."

Joshua defended his brother – who is married to Michelle Keegan – and referred to Dyer by the nick name ‘Malcolm’.

He replied: “Malcolm you must still be hurting from when Mark gave you a slap in the changing room that day. Get over it you melt @MrDDyer.”

Dyer retaliated and posted: “At a charity football match 4 Terminally ill children then run behind his dad. What a geezer. My bird hits harder.”

In a tweet that has since been deleted Joshua denied his father had been involved and claimed Dyer "ran [his] mouth as always and pushed [Mark] into a corner so he protected himself by slapping [Dyer]”.

The EastEnders actor branded Mark a “disgrace” and alleged there were “kids waiting outside with months to live”.

Determined to have the final word he finished: "We all know what happened. He took a bang liberty. End of. He ain't a bit on me. Crack on."

A representative for Mark declined to comment.
