'So miserable!' Danny Dyer clashes with staff at his caravan park as viewers call out their 'negative' behaviour
'Danny and his daughter are so much nicer than them'
The Dyers’ Caravan Park debuted on Sky One last night (February 24), with Danny and Dani getting rave reviews from viewers.
However, not everyone who appeared in the first two episodes of the series got such positive feedback…
Danny Dyer clashes with caravan park management team
Last night, Danny and Dani Dyer headed to the Kent coast for their new series, The Dyers’ Caravan Park. It follows the father-and-daughter duo as they attempt to turn around the fortunes of Priory Hill and Nutts Farm holiday parks.
Danny invested in the business himself, so it’s in his financial interests to do all he can to sell the parks’ empty pitches.
After introducing himself to residents and holding a residents’ meeting, Danny was given some ways that he could try and improve the parks.
However, his ideas were later met with criticism from the site’s current staff members, Priory Hill and Nutts Farm managers Darren and Paul.
They argued that Danny hadn’t really got his hands dirty yet, and that some of his ideas for improving the park weren’t really do-able.
They also complained about the ex-EastEnders’ star’s giant billboard ad for the parks. It was positioned in a field at the side of the motorway on the way into the Isle of Sheppey.

However, the image – which showed Danny with a caravan coming out of his mouth – was branded bad taste by the managers. They pointed out that the suggestive shot didn’t fit with the sites’ family-friendly image. And, more than that, it wasn’t even in the correctly branded colours.
‘Miserable’ management team face viewer backlash
Viewers took to social media to hit out at the staff, though. They accused them of being as “miserable as [bleep]”. And one even stated: “They seem to be the type of people if you have them a cheque for £1m they would moan that the had to drive the bank to pay it in.”
Others felt strongly about the management team, too.
“They are so arrogant. It’s crazy to think that Danny and his daughter are so much nicer than them. The stereotype is that celebrities are the stuck up ones. They should consider themselves lucky they’ve got two celebs. Handy if you ask me,” said another.
“How bloody happy are the staff at the caravan park that #DannyDyers documentary is set at. Everything they do they are so negative. Maybe some positivity and drive maybe improve business. Let’s hope they cheer up as the series goes on,” said another.
“Seems like they don’t want the hard work, and were happy to just to let it run itself into the ground. They clearly weren’t listening to customers,” another added.
‘They’ll have that place like a palace!’
To be entirely fair to the team at Priory Hill and Nutts Farm, they have said they’ve been struggling to get the parks back to what they were following the death of the family patriarch. And that is where, hopefully, the charismatic Danny can step in.
Viewers certainly seem keen to see more of the series.
“Brilliant bit of TV, love a bit of Danny Dyer,” said one fan of the show. Another added: “This is immediately great. I LOVE Danny Dyer.”
A third commented: “Danny and Dani are bloody brilliant. They’ll have that place like a palace. Can’t wait for the next episode!”
