The 39-year-old actor is set to whisk his childhood sweetheart - whom he married in September last year after spending 20 years together - away to the Maldives in order to spend some quality time together.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Since they got married Danny has been working non stop, they haven't had a lot of time together and he wants to make Jo feel special. He's very focused on his family."

The news comes after it was revealed Danny - who shares Danni, 19, Sunnie, nine and Arty, two, with his wife - would be taking a "short break" from his role as Mick Carter on the long-running BBC soap opera 'EastEnders'.

Danny has since jetted off to South Africa for a holiday and friends believe he is exhausted after working non-stop since joining the show in 2013.

An insider explained: "Danny knows he has to rest-up and recuperate. He has been ground down by the workload on 'EastEnders' and then partying on top of it.

"This trip is going to do him the world of good. He can remain anonymous there and he can properly rest. He's hoping to come back refreshed and back into work."

Meanwhile, 'EastEnders' bosses have rushed to quash recent claims he was difficult on set.

A spokesperson said last week: "Danny is always a consummate professional.

"Danny has never walked off set, nor has he ever lost his temper or been rude to anyone at work.

"Danny is an extremely popular member of cast and respected by everyone on the show."
