Love Island star Dani Dyer’s cheating ex who left her heartbroken is revealed as handsome Essex lad
DANI Dyer’s ex-boyfriend who left her heartbroken and in fear of being cheated on is a 24-year-old Essex lad called Lui Sorenti, The Sun’s Bizarre column can reveal.
The Love Island favourite, 22, has been open about her turbulent romantic history throughout the series, telling viewers: “I’ve been cheated on, lied to – I’ve had it all. Loyalty and honesty means so much to me.”
Lui and Dani first started dating when she was 17-years-old and he was welcomed into her family – but their relationship collapsed over claims he played away, leaving her distraught.
The heartache she suffered at the hands of her ex has made it almost impossible for her to trust men and that insecurity has been the only thing standing in the way of her finding happiness with new love Jack Fincham.
Dani struggled to cope this week after new boyfriend Jack, 26, failed a lie detector test which revealed he may be tempted to cheat on her outside the villa.
Reflecting on Jack’s answer Dani confessed: “That really has affected me the most because I can’t have that again.”
A source close to Dani previously told The Sun: “Dani is a young woman and hasn’t been in many long term relationships.
“But she really fell for one of her first boyfriends who she dated between the ages of 17 and 18 and he did really love her too.
“Sadly that boyfriend cheated on her and their romance turned toxic – she had her heart broken and it always hurts twice as much when you’re the age she was.
“He really hurt her and even now she finds it difficult to fully put her trust in someone.”
Dani first revealed her strong feelings against cheating when she discovered that Jack had been unfaithful to all of his previous girlfriends.
She even temporarily ended their romance just two days after they coupled up over fears history could repeat itself.
Speaking about Jack during her first week in the villa she said: “He’s a lovely looking lad and he’s very funny and any other girl would be lucky to have that.
“But not me because I’ve had that – I just thought ‘have I just gone for the same type that I always go for?’”
Dani and Jack are one week away from making the final of the competition after becoming the only pair to stay in the same couple the entire series.
