Danny Dyer Teases Rivals Season 2 ‘Full-Frontal’ Nude Scene

Danny Dyer has teased that he will appear in a “full-frontal” scene later in the current season of Rivals.

The Bafta winner plays fan-favourite Freddie Jones in the Disney+ bonkbuster, which returned after a two-year absence last week.

While promoting season two, Danny told Radio Times: “I go full frontal in this series, if they keep it in the edit.”

Since it premiered in 2024, Rivals has become renowned for its racy content including graphic scenes of sex and nudity.

Danny added: “Nobody’s under pressure to be naked if they don’t want to, but if a woman’s getting her breasts out, why shouldn’t I get it all out?”

“I’ve got breasts as well, to be fair,” he then quipped.

Opening up more about the scene in question to Digital Spy, Danny explained: “It’s an odd thing to do. You sign up for this. It’s part of it.

“Nobody’s forced to [do it]. It’s Jilly [Cooper, who wrote the books that Rivals is based on].”

He observed that his co-star Katherine Parkinson is also “quite naked” in the scene “and so are a lot of other actors in it”.

Katherine agreed: “So many of us are doing those sorts of scenes that it becomes normalised. It’s only after the job stops you go: ‘Oh, my goodness, I did that’.

“[It’s] all done in the spirit of Jilly. It’s always telling a story.”

She added: “That’s actually a very funny scene – not because of [Danny’s] full-frontal-ness – but because of what’s happening in the scene.”

Season two of Rivals kicked off in the show’s typically raunchy fashion, with full-frontal nudity from two new characters in the first 15 minutes, and an Aidan Turner naked moment also opening the door to a certain unexpected EastEnders cameo.

Episode four of Rivals arrived on Disney+ on Friday morning, with two more coming in the weeks ahead.

After that, the show will take a mid-season break, with the rest of Rivals’ second season following later in the year.
