You can take the boy out of East London…

Danny Dyer’s latest foray into high society has seen him team up with the butler from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air – with hilarious repercussions.

The East Enders star, who played a rags-to-riches businessman thrust into aristocratic life in Rivals, was given etiquette lessons from the beloved butler Geoffrey, whose job it was to make a gentleman out of a young Will Smith for six years.

Joseph Marcell is forced to wrestle Dyer into a bowtie in the hilarious video before teaching the British actor about how to become a perfect assistant – both day and night.

The video was revealed to be a new campaign by Sky Broadband to highlight the launch of their 24/7 switching support for new broadband customers.

The switching support service is staffed by real people, offering a personal touch, and comes after a study of 2,000 Brits revealed that more than a third (36 per cent) admit to sticking with a broadband contract, even if they feel they’re not getting a good service.

More than three in four (79 per cent) agreed that having a 24/7 support system in place would be useful in helping them switch provider as Brits continue to favour high-quality service from their providers.

The poll also revealed Brits top life frustrations, with queue jumpers (50 per cent), littering (50 per cent) and receiving spam calls (47 per cent) topping the list.

Sky Broadband butler, Danny Dyer said: “I had a laugh learning the ropes from the legend himself, Joseph Marcell.

“Turns out, I know my profiteroles from my crumpets, and who would’ve thought I’d make a right proper butler. It’s all about serving up smiles and charm which is what I’m all about. So, if your broadband provider is doing your head in, you need one that will be there night and day. Let’s ‘av it”.
