One of Danny Dyer’s alleged V-Fest attackers is banker who conned clients out of almost £2million with scam investments
He was disqualified from being a company director for 14 years in 2014 after duping unsuspecting members of the public
EASTENDERS star Danny Dyer’s alleged attackers include a businessman who duped clients out of £1.7million in dodgy land investments.
Eren Metcalfe, 28, was disqualified from being a company director for 14 years in 2014 after his firm was said to “bring misery to unsuspecting members of the public”.
He was allegedly among the five pals of former Towie star Mark Wright who jumped Danny, 39, last Saturday in front of his daughter Dani, 19, at V Festival in Chelmsford, Essex.
Metcalfe was said to have carried out land banking scams in which virtually worthless plots were sold at a massive mark-up.
The Insolvency Service said the sale method left it almost impossible for buyers to get planning permission.

He also had “unexplained payments and deficiencies” in his accounts.
Dad-of-three Danny, on a joint stag and hen do ahead of his wedding next month, claimed he was beaten up after he and Mark had rowed on Twitter.
His fiancé Jo Mas, 38, said later that Wright was “egging on his bunch of idiot friends all day”.
Other alleged attackers include Mark’s cousin Georgie Wright, Anthony Allen and Freddie Akehurst. They featured in an Instagram snap of Mark’s that Danny shared on social media, captioned: “Friends eh. How to ruin ya pals career before it had even started.”
When Mark distanced himself from the brawl, Danny wrote: “Where was ya??”
Dani admitted she goaded some of the men after they barged past her dad, by shouting “Mark Wright is a c***”. None of the alleged attackers have responded to requests for a comment.
