If you treat my Dani like a princess, everything will be sweet but if you upset her then there’ll be issues.. POPULAR
that says a lot about a man in today’s society. I think she’s won a belter there.” On the show, Dani and Jack coupled up early in the series and share a bed. Things have turned serious, and the pair have agreed to move in with each other when they leave the villa.
But Jack, a stationery salesman from Kent, has admitted to cheating on former partners. And he failed a lie detector test when asked if his head would be turned by other girls outside of the villa.
But Danny said: “The lie detector thing is a load of b ****** s. They don’t use it in a court because it’s not conclusive. How can you possibly tell what’s really going on in your f ****** mind from a f ****** lie detector.
“It’s all for TV. Dani being Dani, she flies off the handle. She hasn’t got much patience. “Who knows what the future is going to hold? You can’t plan anything like that. He has been really loyal to her and he has really looked after her in that villa. That’s all I can really speak on.” So how will Jack, who has no experience of fame, fare when he leaves Love Island? “He has no idea,” crows Danny.
“When he comes out, he’s going to be the nation’s sweetheart and so his mates are going to want a bit of that. He’ll get caught up in the whirlwind of it. And of course, they have got the added pressure of being in a public relationship, which is again really difficult, really difficult.
“Everywhere they go they are going to be followed around, especially for the first couple of months. So when he is out with his mates – I’m not saying at all if he would ever cheat – but there will be pictures of him...
“It’s whether or not they can come out on this journey together through this fame thing.”
Danny is currently on holiday at Disney World in Florida with wife Jo Mas and their younger children, Sunnie, 11, and Arty, five.
It means Danny and Jo missed last night’s special, where parents visited the Love Island villa in Majorca. But they were shown via Skype. He explained: “As proud as I am of my Dan, the other two [children] deserve a holiday.
“I can’t go to the villa. I really tried to make it work with the producers. I think they are pretty devastated they couldn’t make that moment happen. I wanted to go in there and give her a cuddle and a kiss. I haven’t seen her in over two months – it’s killing me. I wanted to see her face-to-face.”
Despite being proud of his daughter, Danny admits it has been awkward watching her fall in love on TV.
He said: “It’s an odd thing for a father to watch because I shouldn’t be seeing no love blossoming before I meet the man.
“It is a strange out-of-body experience watching your eldest child on a TV programme getting to know a boy intimately.” Danny hopes Jack “can bump himself up to a TV personality career” after the show. He added: “They’ve got to concentrate individually on their own careers, and hope the relationship follows with them.
“I do believe in that villa they looked after themselves, they got each other through it. It will be an absolute travesty if they don’t win it.
“If they win it, they come out, they earn a bit of dough and through that whole experience they looked after each other, and that’s a beautiful thing in itself. “Whatever happens after, they have both turned their lives around. They’ve given themselves loads of opportunities.”
