In a revelation that will surprise fans of the famous television family, Strictly Come Dancing star Dani Dyer has declared that her father, EastEnders hardman Danny Dyer, will never be gracing the Australian jungle in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The former Love Island winner, who is currently dazzling audiences on the BBC dance floor, made the candid admission during a recent interview. She explained that a firm and long-standing agreement exists between them, effectively putting a permanent ban on any such jungle antics.
A Firm Family Pact
Dani didn't mince her words when discussing the possibility. "He's not allowed," she stated emphatically. The 27-year-old clarified that this wasn't a mere suggestion but a non-negotiable rule she has laid down for her father.
Her reasoning stems from a place of deep familial concern. Having witnessed her own mother's anxiety during her reality TV stint, Dani is fiercely protective of her parents' well-being. "I saw what my mum went through when I was in the villa," she shared, referencing her time on Love Island. "I wouldn't want to put my mum through that again."
Protecting Family Peace
Dani's primary worry is the intense stress and worry her mother, Joanne Mas, would experience watching her husband face Bushtucker Trials and the harsh conditions of the jungle camp. "I know my mum, she wouldn't be able to handle it," Dani explained, highlighting the emotional toll such shows can take on the families of contestants.
This protective instinct means that despite Danny Dyer's iconic status and his undoubtedly entertaining potential in the jungle, fans should never expect to see him trying to win stars for camp. For Dani, her family's peace of mind is far more important than any reality television opportunity.
