Danny Dyer defended his Love Island star daughter after Piers Morgan SLAMMED the contestants

Danny, 40, isn't someone you want to get on the wrong side of, which is why Good Evening Britain presenter Piers Morgan made an attempt (albeit a weak one) to apologise for his previous comments about the contestants.

Piers, 50, said: "Danny, before we go any further, you may have been led to believe from social media that I've spent the last three weeks calling every contestant on Love Island a 'bunch of brain dead zombies'."

An unimpressed and evidently angry Danny sat in silence with a stern look on his face.

Piers continued: "I'd like to clarify that obviously doesn't include anyone in the villa who is called Dani Dyer, which I believe is your daughter"

"She is obviously a shining oasis of intelligence and beauty and grace."

Danny finally shut down the controversial presenter with: "Just stop talking Piers. You're just talking and rambling on."

He went on to explain: "I didn't want her to do it. I'd never seen it before. You fear as a father but it's entertainment...

"It's a game show and there's 50 grand at stake which is a lot of dough and Dani's going to win it."

This came after Jack Fincham's ex girlfriend joined the secret Casa Mora villa last night. Jack, who made things official with Dani just a few nights ago, looked mortified as Ellie Jones strutted in wearing a bikini.

We just hope that he behaves himself, and knows he'll have to deal with Danny Dyer if he takes one wrong step towards winning his daughter's heart.

Asked what he'd do if Jack has sex with Dani on the show, Danny said: "I'll strangle him or something... no, I'm joking."

That is one protective dad, and we absolutely LOVE him for it.
