The footage comes shortly after Danny celebrated England's victory over Colombia in a newly filmed scene for the soap this week. His character was seen telling Callum 'Halfway' Highway that it was finally coming home, since England won their penalty shootout on Tuesday. In the scene, he said: "I mean, he was like a cat, the geezer, wasn't he? He's like get a hold of that - quarter finals. See you later on, Colombia." Agreeing, Halfway then remarked: "When he missed that penalty though, I was like, 'Oh, here we go again.' I can't believe it." To which Mick replied: "Well, start believing because we've got Jordan Pickford between the sticks and have some handsome Harry up front, even though he's Tottenham. Just give us the trophy."
