EastEnders star Danny Dyer is set to marry his girlfriend of 25 years after she proposed to him on Valentine's Day.

Dyer, who plays king of the Queen Vic Mick Carter, told Hello! magazine it was "a complete bolt out of the blue" when Joanne Mas popped the question.

"I'm so glad she did it because I don't think I could have taken the rejection. I love the fact Jo proposed," the TV hard man said.

But there was one person who did not wish the pair well - Katie Hopkins.

Taking to Twitter, Hopkins suggested Mas had gone "the full Lorena Bobbitt" by proposing to him.

But not to be outdone Dyer hit back - branding Hopkins a "daft sexist" and comparing her to Albert Steptoe from Steptoe and Son.
