Jo admitted the 40-year-old is a bit envious of all the fun Dani, 21, is having after finding boyfriend Jack Fincham on the show.
She told Caroline Flack: "I think he's a bit jealous, he does cry a lot. Every night. He really misses her.
She added: "I like Jack. I trust him yeah. I think he's caring for Dani, I think he's got her back."
Jo, 41, also admitted Dani has been happy in other relationships but she's never witnessed how her daughter has behaved around a man.

Shock for Love Island nice guy Jack Fincham has his ex Ellie Jones arrives in Casa Amor whilst the girls are introduced to six new lads
Asked if she's seen the barmaid this happy in a relationship before, she said: "Yes I have, but I've not actually been a part of her progressing, so it's weird. She's really happy.
"She's got her morals. She knows she doesn't need to use her body in any relationship because she's got a personality."
Dani's family saw her reduced to tears when she realised Jack was in Casa Amor with his ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones.
Record numbers of viewers complained about the show's cruel treatment of Dani, especially as Jack has shown himself to be loyal, and once they are on the outside, her dad is apparently set to welcome Jack into the Dyer family with open arms.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, Dani's best friend Kayleigh Short says Danny is actually a "big softie" at heart.
She said: "I think Danny will like Jack because there is nothing to dislike about him.
"Every dad is protective over his daughter, it’s normal for him to be like that with Dani.

Kayleigh added: "Danny isn’t scary at all, or intimidating. He’s a big softie in real life.
"Because Jack is coming across so well and does seem so nice I don’t see any problems.
"I think her family will welcome him with open arms."
