The EastEnder told the stripy fruit: 'What's the matter? You want some? Get hold of that' as it exploded into pieces
DANNY Dyer pulverising an "Anglo-Saxon watermelon" on horseback while screaming "'Ave it" has been named the greatest moment in television by delighted viewers.
The 41-year-old EastEnders legend destroyed the stripy fruit with a medieval lance in his new show Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family last night - to applause from fans.
One tweeted: "ALL WE NEED FROM TV NOW AND FOR EVER IS DANNY DYER SPEARING A WATERMELON. I'm talking all channels, all day. Back to back coverage."
Another raved: "Nothing better on tv than Danny Dyer having the hump with an Anglo Saxon watermelon" with a third branding it: "The funniest thing I've seen this year."
As Danny is fond of telling people, he is the 22 times great-grandson of King Edward III, a fact unearthed on Who Do You Think You Are?
Last night's episode saw Danny getting "regalled out of my brains" as he explored his links to Norman king William the Conqueror.
Viewers saw the actor wielding a spear yelling: "Right, come on then Anglo Saxon, you want a bit of me?
"I Danny Dyer, 30 times great-grandson of William the Conqueror has got the hump with an Anglo-Saxon watermelon and it's going to get it."
Spearing the fruit, he roared: "What's the matter? You want some? Get hold of that. That's how we rolled in Norman times. Don't you forget it."
One viewer tweeted: "Danny Dyer murdering a watermelon on horseback shouting 'AV IT' turns out to be exactly what I needed on a Wednesday evening."
Another wrote: "Danny Dyer stabbing a watermelon while sat on a f***ing 'orse may already be the TV highlight of 2019."
A third praised the BBC for airing the Cockney versus fruit challenge, writing: "Whoever commissioned Danny Dyer to lance a watermelon from the back of a horse is a genius."
