EastEnders legend Danny Dyer has never been one to mince his words, and his response to daughter Dani's latest television venture is no exception. The actor offered a characteristically blunt and funny review of Dani Dyer's new Channel 4 documentary, 'Dani Does Love Island?', which sees her revisiting the show that made her famous.
In the show, Dani embarks on an emotional journey back to the iconic Love Island villa in South Africa, reflecting on the intense public scrutiny and the subsequent breakdown of her relationship with former partner Jack Fincham. Danny's reaction, however, cuts through the sentiment with his trademark cockney candour.
'It's a Tough Watch'
Speaking about the documentary, Danny admitted it was a challenging viewing experience for a protective father. "It's a tough watch for me, to see my daughter getting her heart broken," he confessed. His review was a masterclass in understatement, simply stating, "It's all right."
He went on to praise his daughter's resilience, highlighting the immense pressure she faced after winning the show in 2018. "She was just a baby when she went in there. The whole country fell in love with her, and then to have it all play out like that... it's a lot," Dyer added, showing a softer side beneath the hard-man exterior.
Dani's Emotional Return to the Villa
'Dani Does Love Island?' follows Dani as she confronts the memories tied to the villa, offering a poignant look at the real-life aftermath of reality TV fame. The documentary explores the stark contrast between the fairy-tale romance viewers saw on screen and the complexities that followed once the cameras stopped rolling.
Danny's hilarious yet heartfelt commentary provides a unique family perspective on the often-glamorised world of reality television, reminding audiences of the very real people behind the headlines.
