Dani Dyer dances in pink dress at hen do ahead of Strictly

Dani Dyer has kicked off her summer with a glamorous hen weekend in the South of France, sharing a series of photos from the trip on Instagram. The Strictly Come Dancing star, 29, was pictured dancing the night away in a pink sequin mini dress as she celebrated with friends.

The dress, from Ivy Rose, cost £90 and featured a cut-out design with a draped bra-style top. Dani styled it with glittering gold wrap heels and a simple gold necklace, wearing her dark locks in loose waves.

The mum-of-three appeared in high spirits as she held a glass of wine and smiled for photos, enjoying downtime before her gruelling training schedule for the new series of Strictly gets under way.

Matching blue T-shirts at the airport

Dani also shared a fun snap of the whole hen party wearing matching blue T-shirts as they posed with the bride at the airport before flying out. She captioned the post: "The best night for our Daisy's hen."

Family celebrations with Jarrod Bowen and Danny Dyer

The getaway came days after a double family occasion with husband Jarrod Bowen and her father, EastEnders star Danny Dyer. The family celebrated Danny's 49th birthday shortly after Jarrod confirmed he would be staying at West Ham despite speculation over his future.

Dani shared rare family photos from the dinner, including a picture of herself with Jarrod, both 29. The couple share three-year-old twin daughters Summer and Star, and Dani is also mum to five-year-old son Santiago from a previous relationship.

One photograph showed the family gathered around a restaurant table, with Dani and Jarrod joined by her sister Sunnie, her boyfriend Will Wood and parents Danny and Joanne. For the meal, Dani wore a black and white corset-style top with blue jeans and strappy heels.

Jarrod Bowen on his West Ham future

Jarrod has since spoken about his decision to stay at West Ham after attracting interest following the club's relegation. He said: "I flew out to Prague in the Czech Republic to meet Daniel and Jiri and the ambition that I got from them, certainly in terms of the direction the Club wants to move in, it interests me a lot. It didn't take a lot."

He continued: "I did an interview after the [Leeds United] game and said my vision is to get this Club back in the Premier League. Sometimes you think it falls on deaf ears and people say 'he's just saying that'. There have been things written and different things said and you have to look at it and bite your tongue sometimes."

"But when I say something, I don't hide away from it. For me, the main thing is to get this club back into the Premier League and speak to people in the club about what we want to do moving forward as a club for the better of the club." He added: "It was a no-brainer for me to be here and the vision is clear, it's the Premier League."
