Danny Dyer won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Royal Television Society Awards for his role in the Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's "Rivals." During his acceptance speech, he humorously referred to himself as a "Disney star" and thanked his co-star, Katherine Parkinson, who was also nominated for her part in the series. Dyer played Freddie Jones, a businessman involved in a love affair with Parkinson's character, Lizzie Vereker. While accepting the award, he expressed gratitude to his manager and credited the show's brilliance and the performances of his colleagues. Before the ceremony, Dyer and Parkinson posed together on the red carpet. Dyer looked stylish in a black blazer, while Parkinson wore a chic silver outfit. The event highlighted Dyer's recent success, as he also won an award from the Broadcasting Press Guild last week. Looking ahead, Dyer is set to start filming the next season of "Rivals" and mentioned he will need to learn to ride a horse for his role. The show features a star-studded cast and explores the competitive world of television in the 1980s. The second season is expected to release in late 2026. Meanwhile, author Jilly Cooper expressed her excitement for the show's return, celebrating the enduring popularity of her characters.
