Danny Dyer Sr has spilled all

Ever since Dani Dyer won Love Island last year with her now-ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham, she's become even MORE famous somehow. She's already the daughter of EastEnders and all-around legend Danny Dyer, but now she's got her own clothing line, a book out and has already had a stint at presenting.

But there was one thing that Dani was quite keen to get under her belt, and that was an appearance on her dad's show, EastEnders - but she revealed in August last year that she believed her dad was secretly behind her non-appearances!

She told told the Daily Star Sunday, "They wouldn’t let me in it [EastEnders]. They won’t let me, and are like, ‘It ain’t going to happen’. I think it’s because my dad is already on it so if I went on it there would be a massive outrage."
