Danny Dyer has shared his savage thoughts on the current state of the UK ahead of the King's Coronation next month.
The former EastEnders actor, 45, says the "country is a f***ing shambles at the moment" and questions if people still care about the Royal Family these days during a candid interview alongside his eldest daughter, Dani Dyer.
Danny muses how he "loves the fact" he is a descendant of King Edward III but doesn't really care about "all that other royal b***ocks" - going on to give his verdict on former working royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The dad-of-three also reveals if he ever intends to enter the world of politics himself and shares exactly what he thinks of Matt Hancock's infamous stint in the jungle for last year's series of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!
Danny was shocked to discover he's descended from royalty in one of the most memorable episodes of Who Do You Think You Are, which takes stars and famous faces on a journey as they learn about their ancestors.
Danny's family tree went under the spotlight during the show's 13th series in 2016, with the Mick Carter actor revealing earlier this year he was paid £18,000 to appear on the BBC show.
Ahead of the coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, on May 6, Danny was asked if he ever likes to remind people of his royal connections.
The former soap star admits that he "still doesn't know what to make of all that" but loves the fact his 14 times grandmother was the sister of Jane Seymour, who gave birth to Henry VIII's son.
"All the other b***ocks I couldn't really give a f*** about," he added to Heat magazine, "I'm not really a royalist."
The Football Factory actor goes on to reveal how he "doesn't mind" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who quit the Royal Family in 2020, but admits the situation with them is "all a bit messy".
After pondering where the monarchy is heading after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who he calls an "incredible woman", Danny asks if young people in the UK actually care about the British Royal Family.
The Scared of The Dark presenter explains how the world has changed a lot over recent years and stresses how it's "important we move on."
He says: "It's such a different world now, especially post-pandemic. We're still trying to adapt a little bit, we're still a little f***ed in the head. The country is a f***ing shambles at the moment."
No exact sum has been given yet on how much the King's Coronation will cost British taxpayers but it's been estimated at around £100million.
Charles' late mother Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation in 1953 cost £1.5million which works out at around £50million today.
During his latest interview, Danny laughs at the suggestion he could run as an MP one day - admitting he has "no interest going into that f***ing world."
But he does have some thoughts on politician-turned-celebrity Matt Hancock and the former health secretary's controversial I'm A Celebrity appearance last year.
Danny muses how Hancock's stint on the ITV show "worked out for him a bit" at the time but he has gone on to "expose his true f***ing self" after sharing his WhatsApp message history with a journalist working on his memoir.
The politician was paid an eye-watering £320,000 for his appearance on the ITV series whilst still a sitting MP for West Suffolk - claiming at the time he was heading Down Under to raise awareness of dyslexia.
Hancock implied his motivation for becoming a reality TV star alongside the likes of Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner and Chris Moyles was not financial before entering the star-studded camp as a late arrival.
He went on to reach the final of I'm A Celebrity in December - finishing third behind soap star Owen Warner and Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott.
Upon returning home to England, the MP for West Suffolk – who lost the Conservative whip after he agreed to appear on the ITV series - went on to announce that he will not be standing for re-election as an MP in the next general election.
Speaking in his latest interview, Danny says he would be worried if he was one of Hancock's celebrity campmates who got voted off the show by the public before the controversial MP.
"I would be very worried about future earnings if I were them," Danny muses when discussing Hancock's attempt to become a reality TV star.
