DANNY Dyer will live like a king for the day in his new TV show exploring Royal history.
The EastEnders' actor was stunned to discover royal blood when hit show Who Do You Think You Are? revealed he was related to Edward III and William the Conqueror.
And he will now star in a new BBC history series to find out about his ancestors' lives.
He will eat, dress and live like royalty in the new two-part series, Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family.
Even his daughter - LOve Island winner Dani - will get involved by getting dressed up in 14th century armour.
Danny told the BBC: "I'm still in shock at the fact that I'm related to such important people.
"I've had a ball getting to know them. It was a nutty experience."
The show will retell 800 years of British history exploring Danny's "extraordinary bloodline".
The revelation comes after it was confirmed that Danny wouldn't be appearing in a family reality show alongside daughter Dani or her boyfriend Jack Fincham.
Dani, was seen falling for Jack in front of the cameras in Majorca this summer.
But her famous father is not ready to join her and the rest of their family for their own series.

"I can’t tell you much more than that for now but hopefully the people who followed and supported us on Love Island will enjoy it.
"My family aren’t involved – so there aint no big Kardashian type show coming up with the Dyers, sorry to disappoint. Don’t think my dad’s ready for that yet!"
