Danny Dyer goes full-frontal nude in X-rated new Rivals episode
After dropping the first three episodes last week, season two of Rivals hasn’t quite brought the same binging potential.
But it does mean getting to wake up to a new episode today (22 May) and therefore, getting to wake up to a nude Danny Dyer.
Yep, the national geezer treasure has gone the full monty and whipped his kit off for Disney.
I mean, it felt like only a matter of time until the 48-year-old would have a nude scene, given the show’s themes – the opening episode this year gave us quite the eyeful of Aidan Turner.

Dyer had previously teased that he goes ‘full frontal’ in this new season of Rivals, having vowed to show solidarity with his female co-stars who have gone nude in the show already.
“I go full frontal in this series, if they keep it in the edit. It's a night shoot, and it was cold, and I'd better not say any more,” he previously told the Radio Times.
“Nobody's under pressure to be naked if they don't want to, but if a woman's getting her breasts out, why shouldn't I get it all out?”
And in classic Dyer fashion, he added: “I’ve got breasts as well, to be fair!”
In the new episode’s raunchy moment, we get to see his character, Freddie , and Lizzie (Katherine Parkinson) heating things up a notch.
They’ve had quite the slow burn romance, with more of an emotional affair if anything, from rare kisses to grazing fingers and lingering looks.
There was the one viral sex scene late in season one but finally, they’re at it again – this time in a swimming pool.
The pair get nude as they take to the water for a passionate, raunchy Rivals moment.
But even with their characters being the more ‘tender’ offering to the show, it’s still a risqué watch for their families with Dyer’s full frontal no doubt turning heads.
He told Metro: “Well, my daughters are very much going, ‘Dad, I need time codes.’”
And Parkinson said her dad and brothers ‘haven’t watched it’.
“My brother’s wife loves it,” she added. “I think my husband really respects it. And said, ‘Go for it’ in the first series, but he doesn’t want to watch those scenes, and I, again, completely respect that.
“I would not want to watch if the shoe was on the other foot, but I think to honour their storyline and to feel free in the moment to tell stories is great.”
Dyer admitted it’s an ‘odd job’ but said you’ve ‘got to commit to these things’ as Parkinson said it’s not them doing these raunchy things.
“I read an interview with an actress who said she’d feel unfaithful to her husband, and I disagree with that, because it’s acting in the same way that if I played a murderer, I wouldn’t feel like I’ve murdered someone,” she explained.
Rivals is currently streaming on Disney+.
