Love Island star Dani Dyer’s pub boss says she’ll always have a job following the show
DANI Dyer’s pub boss says she will always have a job to come back to following her time in the Love Island villa.
Adam Brooks, manager at The Owl in Loughton, said Dani was very popular with customers while she worked for him for roughly a year.
The Love Island star's dad Danny is a regular in the pub and is often spotted enjoying pie and mash.
Adam said: "She's got a lot of banter, she's a funny girl and she'll have a good series staying with that Jack."
The publican added that his suspicions Dani was preparing to go on the show were raised before she broke the news to him.
He continued: "I knew something was up but she didn't tell me, she told a few of the girls that work for me. Obviously the girls are quite tight at The Owl. They're all a bunch of friends really.

"I'm just the boss man so I don't get told a lot. I wished her well. Obviously she was on that last show and it was rumoured she was going on this so it wasn't a surprise. I wish her well and she will do well.
"I think it was or two or three weeks ago I heard the rumours and then got told she won't be about."
Adam, who works at the countryside pub which has a four star rating on Tripadvisor, said he thinks chirpy Dani can become a national sweetheart.
He continued: "If she stays real to herself and her real personality there's good chance of that.
"Of course she would be welcome to come back. She's very popular with all the customers and the locals and as I said we've got a tight knit group of girls who work for me behind the bar so of course I would welcome her back."

But if she did return she wouldn't get as much attention as she has so far on the ITV2 reality show.
Adam said: "The only thing about The Owl is it's a family orientated pub and a lot of the locals are elderly men and families that come up.
"So I would say she doesn't get the attention there, because it's not the right place to find love. The Owl, it's a country pub."
That may be just as well with protective dad Danny, star of EastEnders, a regular too.
He added: "They come in and they're a lovely family. Her dad comes in for a bit of pie and mash now and then."
