Dani, who shot to fame on reality series Love Island in 2018, is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer - who currently plays Mick Carter in EastEnders.
She also had dreams of acting, and starred in some minor roles before becoming a TV personality.
However, Danny was less thrilled about his daughter being famous, recently admitting that he didn't speak to her for weeks when she told him she'd signed up for the ITV2 show.

Speaking on podcast Sorted With The Dyers, Dani said: "He didn’t like me. We didn’t really talk. It was very awkward. Oh my god, I’d walk into the room and it would be so awkward."
But Danny clarified that he was unhappy because he felt like he was the last to know about her decision.
He said: "I set you off, I put your suitcase in the boot all f***ing angry and I said 'go on just f***ing go and do what you got to do.'"
