Danny Dyer has suggested that Channel 4 is responsible for his hair loss.

The Severance star was asked to go ginger for a part in the station's football drama All In The Game, something he believes caused his hairline to recede.

He told Channel Bee: "I couldn't get it out of my hair. It took me six months. I couldn't f***ing get it out. I kept washing it.

"I think I started losing my wig after that. I'm receding a bit but it only started after I dyed it. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll sue.

"It's down to Channel 4 I'm losing my canister."

However, Dyer was grateful that his All In The Game role gave him the opportunity to work with his hero Ray Winstone.

"It was a dream for me. He's one of my idols, one of the reasons I started acting," he confessed. "They said, 'We want to give you a different look. When Ray was younger he had ginger hair and Ray thinks that it's a good idea.'"
