"I've been up for it three times, I got three knockbacks," Dyer said during the recording of ITV's Jonathan Ross Show. Fellow guest Dame Diana Rigg - who plays Lady Olenna Tyrell in the HBO fantasy drama - blamed Dyer's voice. "I'll put in a word for you as long as you lose the cockney accent." Dyer told Ross he went for several roles. "One was Pyper. Is it Pyper?" Pyper is played by London-born Josef Altin, and Dyer said other Londoners had managed to get parts. "There's a couple of cockneys knocking about. There's a couple of chimney sweeps too. I've seen them." A range of British accents can be heard on the show - including Sean Bean's Yorkshire delivery. Dyer - who plays Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter in the BBC One soap - has recently spoken about bringing a "cockney" flavour to roles made famous by "posh" actors. "I think that I could play Sherlock... if I did it my way. Benedict [Cumberbatch] is brilliant and the lines roll off his tongue, but that role is about being highly intelligent rather than posh. "I think I could do Doctor Who as well. The star, who grew up in Canning Town, east London, also told Ross he changes his EastEnders' scripts - adding more cockney rhyming slang. "I made the job hard for myself really because I thought when I come in it, I want to bring back a bit of the East End. They're good writers there but they're quite middle class people so I'm constantly changing the dialogue and I'm freaking their nut out and they have meetings over the word 'boat race'."

It's packed with British acting talent, but EastEnders star Danny Dyer repeatedly auditioned for a part in the hit series TV Game of Thrones... and failed every time.

The duo will "focus on their peak-time commitments" with the station and will leave before the end of the year. It added that the show's new hosts would be "announced in due course". Chiles will still front ITV's football coverage, while Bleakley will replace Holly Willoughby on Dancing on Ice. Chiles will continue to present That Sunday Night Show, while Bleakley is lined up for other projects including factual entertainment and home renovation shows. The pair defected from the BBC to front the much-heralded show, which replaced GMTV last year. The ITV deals are reportedly worth £6m for Chiles and £4m for Bleakley over four years. Daybreak has struggled since it first aired in September in 2010. Proving less popular than GMTV, ratings fell to 600,000, less than half the number of viewers BBC Breakfast attracts. It now averages about 800,000 viewers. A new editor, David Kermode, takes over at Daybreak on 1 December. Chiles and Bleakley presented The One Show on the BBC before moving to ITV. ITV reportedly spent more than £1m rebranding and revamping their morning show with new sets and hefty promotion. It also wooed Chiles and Bleakley from the BBC in the hope they would replicate their popular partnership and on-screen chemistry from The One Show.
Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley are to leave ITV1's breakfast show Daybreak following poor ratings for the show since its launch last year, it has been confirmed.

By Ben WrightPolitical correspondent, BBC News Visitors to this Liberal Democrat spring conference have been confronted with two large blocks of yellow wood in the foyer. One is the letter "I", the other an "N". Sadly there are not any other letters so mischievous party members are unable to create their own rude words. Not that they would. Liberal Democrats are a well behaved lot, loyal to their party and this leader at least. No matter how low in the polls they go, no matter how much they privately fear a hammering at the European and general elections, party members remain remarkably chipper. They strongly believe it was right to go into coalition with the Conservatives and are proud of what they have achieved. The problem is of course that many voters strongly disagree. Half the party's 2010 support has vanished, most of it to Labour. Pantomime villain But it is not Ed Miliband's name getting mentioned here much. Instead it is the smoke-puffing shadow of UKIP's leader Nigel Farage that looms over this conference. He is York's pantomime villain and his name crops up in almost every speech. In his address, Nick Clegg said that "the politics of blame has found an acceptable face - it wears a big smile and looks like someone you could have a pint with down the pub". But the Lib Dem leader accused UKIP of promoting an "ungenerous, backwards-looking politics". It is a flavour of the ad hominem attack Mr Clegg will take to Nigel Farage in April's television and radio debates. So what is going on? The Liberal Democrats have 11 MEPS, 12 if you count Edward McMillan-Scott, who defected to them from the Conservatives in 2010. There is real fear in the party that these could be wiped out in the elections on 22 May - a poll UKIP is hoping to top. Which is why the Liberal Democrat tactic is to frame the election as a simple choice: UKIP who want Britain to get out of Europe and the Liberal Democrats who believe Britain must be in. This is why "IN" is the word plastered all over this conference. By trumpeting a passionate commitment to the EU and Britain's membership of it, the Lib Dems are hoping to win the votes of pro-European Tory and Labour voters too. It is only the Lib Dems, Mr Clegg argues, who unequivocally argue Britain's interests are best served by EU membership. He will criticise the Conservatives, who promise a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017, for having "one foot out the door". So will this tactic work? The thinking is that voters will respect the Lib Dems for sticking to their principles, fighting for an issue that has met with scepticism or boredom in much of public life. But European elections are rarely about Europe. The result usually reflects how voters feel about the state of domestic politics. And at the moment the Lib Dems are adrift at about 10% in the opinion polls. Translated to a European election that uses a proportional voting system, it is easy to see why they are worried. Meanwhile, the "differentiation" strategy picks up pace. On Europe, tax and immigration the Lib Dems are sharpening their attacks on the Conservatives. This conference has revealed sincere Lib Dems' fury at what they see as a Tory attempt to purloin their flagship policy - raising the personal allowance to £10,000. In recent months, Conservative ministers have talked with pride about this coalition tax cut. And there is clearly a proper behind-the-scenes battle going on about whether it goes up again in this month's Budget. Some coalition "rows" are manufactured for the mutual benefit of both parties. This one is not. But Nick Clegg's central message remains the same - that his party was right to form a solid coalition with the Conservatives to deal with the economy, despite the political price it has paid. But the electoral credit the Lib Dems yearn for still looks elusive.

It is probably the pithiest slogan in politics.
