Dani

SHE may be pushing 30 with a husband and three kids of her own, but Dani Dyer’s famous dad still foots her phone bill.

The former Love Island star, 29, posted a tribute to her actor dad Danny on his 49th birthday, cheekily making the revelation.

Next to a snap of Danny, she wrote: “Happy birthday to you. Thank you for everything you do.

“So lucky to have you and all the laughs we have together. Love you loads.

“Also thank you for still paying my phone bill!”

The Dyer family went out for a lavish meal to mark Danny’s birthday.

DYER SITUATION

‘It’s been tough’ – Danny Dyer appears to confirm Bowen’s West Ham future

In more snaps shared by Dani, Danny was treated to a swanky dinner, topped off with his favourite pudding with a candle on top.

The family sang to the Rivals star as he thanked them for their well-wishes.

Danny was joined by his wife Joanne and two of their three children, Dani and 19-year-old Sunnie.

Their youngest, Arty, wasn’t present, but Dani’s husband – footballer Jarrod Bowen – and Sunnie’s boyfriend – record label owner Will Wood – joined the celebrations.

Dani is about to embark on a stint on Strictly Come Dancing, which kicks off at the end of the summer.

It was revealed this week that another “nepo baby” will join her in the 2026 line-up, in the form of Ray Winstone’s actress daughter Jaime.

Ray and Danny both starred in 2006’s football drama All In The Game, suggesting the celebrity offspring have crossed paths in the past.

This comes after it was revealed Danny has further connections to Love Island, beyond his daughter Dani finding fame on the show.

A link has been unearthed between current contestant Lorenzo and Danny – as well as ties to EastEnders, Ne-Yo, and former show winner Ekin-Su.

Lorenzo’s dad Oz helps train MMA fighters at his thriving business Wolf Self Defence, but he worked as a close protection officer for celebrities prior to this.

Oz is also the head doorman at celebrity hotspot Sheesh, where many of the Love Island cast and British celebrities hang out.

TOWIE star Dani Imbert has opened up on her relationship status with Jonnie

The Only Way is Essex favourite Dani Imbert has lifted the lid on where she stands romantically as the explosive new series makes its comeback.

Fresh drama has landed on ITV2 with The Only Way is Essex returning for another series, with episodes dropping every Sunday and Monday. The show hasn’t disappointed, serving up plenty of feuds and fiery confrontations.

Series 37 is in full swing, and in tonight’s episode (May 17), available on ITV2 and ITVX, tensions within Girl Band reached boiling point. Meanwhile, one cast member has revealed where things stand romantically following a tender moment that caught everyone’s attention.

TOWIE’s Dani has addressed her relationship status and the situation with newcomer Jonnie Gurie after the pair were spotted getting cosy during the cast’s Vietnam getaway.

In tonight’s episode, now streaming on ITVX, Harry quizzed Jonnie directly: “I want to ask a question Jonnie. On the last night I seen you basically spooning Dani on the sofa,” reports OK!.

Jonnie responded: “Listen, I think um, I said this on the last day when we was with Elma and Dani, I don’t even know how it happened, we just got comfortable with each other we spent more time with each other.”

He continued: “There was one night, we had a kiss but we’ve not really spoke about that what’s going on since we’ve been back. It’s just been chill, I said I don’t want to put pressure on anything that’s going on.”

Diags couldn’t resist chiming in with a quip: “He’s got a little Dan Edgar script.” Later on, viewers saw Dani and Ella head to the beach for what Ella described as some much-needed “scream therapy”. Letting out their pent-up frustrations, Dani yelled: “I hate that I’m a cougar, release me from being a cougar.”

She continued: “I hate it here.. keep Jonnie away from me please.” Turning to Ella, she admitted: “I feel better, I’m still a cougar though it’s not changed anything.”

When quizzed about how things stood between them, Dani confessed: “I’m such a cougar, I think I’ve been hanging around Elma for too long because why am I flirting with young boys 24/7. It’s just still like quite light hearted, it’s just a flirt but I don’t think it’s anything, it’s not anything…”

Ella probed: “Are you sure” to which Dani responded: “Yeah.”

Off-screen, it seems TOWIE enthusiasts are backing the potential pairing, as an exclusive snippet was posted on The Only Way is Essex’s social media featuring Dani discussing matters on the You Alright, Hun? Podcast.

The post, shared this week, was captioned: “Fancy an exclusive? Dani gives us the gossip on where things are with Jonnie on the ‘You Alright, Hun?’ #TOWIE podcast! Listen/Watch on ITVX, Spotify and YouTube“, with Dani being questioned about her relationship status with Jonnie.

She revealed: “I think now we’re off, but that’s only for now. We’re back in contact a little bit, we haven’t seen each other and like we’ve had conversations.

“We know we miss each other but we’re not sure where it’s going to go, so I feel like there’s a lot of conversations to be had. That’s the exclusive, we’re in contact again and we wasn’t so that’s a step in the right direction.

“We’re in contact, we’re talking. But I haven’t seen him in four weeks so I can’t really say we’re back on.”

One admirer responded: “I hope they get together, love Danni she cracks me up.”

TOWIE can be streamed on ITVX.
