An EastEnders/Love Island crossover is something we never expected but it's kind of happening because it's been confirmed that Dani Dyer is joining the show.

She only recently welcomed baby Santiago into the world but she's managed to bag a job alongside her dad on the Square.

Confirming the exciting news the BBC have shared a photo of Dani and her dad Danny together while filming.

They may be related in real life, but Dani will not be joining the Carter family. Instead she's going to be a cab driver dropping Mick off to Walford.

It's reported that Dani will only be making a brief guest appearance but maybe if she impresses bosses and viewers she'll be able to stay?

After all, Mick Carter's pal Mitch Baker was only meant to be in Albert Square for a brief time but now he's a full-time resident.
