Danny Dyer: I’ll help my Dani make a fortune
But Dyer warns: Don’t be double act
DANNY Dyer is urging his Love Island winning daughter Dani “don’t be a double act” as he guides her into a new TV career.
The EastEnders actor will meet Dani and telly boyfriend Jack Fincham when he returns from holiday this week – following the couple’s victory in the ITV show last night.
A source close to the family said: “Dani and Jack have a lot of offers, but Danny has been in TV his whole life and he will make sure Dani gets the best she can get.
“He thinks they need to pursue their own careers and that working as a double act is setting them up to fail.”
Danny, 41, said yesterday it would be a “f***ing travesty” if they did not win.
And he told the Mirror that he was aware of a string of big money-spinning TV deals. He said: “There are going to be some very exciting projects coming up for her.”
Dani, 22, and Jack, 26, have been offered an ITV2 spin-off show which will follow their romance following the end of Love Island. But Danny said: “They have to live their own lives, I don’t think they should come out as a double act. “They are a double act, but it hasn’t lasted too well for previous contestants to go, ‘Oh let’s be a double act’. They haven’t lasted four months, have they? “You’ve got to concentrate individually on their own careers and hope the relationship follows with them.” One TV source: “Dani is such a warm character and she would be great presenting her own show. “She’s got the confidence and is laid back with people.” Pen maker Jack has 1.4 million Instagram followers – going from an unknown Essex lad to a TV favourite in two months. Dani and Jack saw off Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel, Laura Anderson and Paul Knops and Wes Nelson and Megan Barton Hanson to claim the £50,000 prize.
SCARLETT Moffatt has hit out at body-shaming trolls who “attacked” her on Twitter during her appearance on the Love Island spin-off Aftersun.
The distraught 27-year-old presenter and former Gogglebox star said she was “crying my eyes out” over the “vile” comments about her appearance.
Scarlett, winner of I’m A Celebrity in 2016, said: “Feel like I can’t even film tv shows without hating the way that I look after – from constantly being attacked because of my size and my appearance!”
She said trolls were to blame for a rise in the number of people who, like her, were now suffering from social anxiety.
She said: “This is not fair this needs to stop!! Please to the people out there who aren’t loving themselves right now please don’t let other people stop you from doing what you love.”
She later added: “I wanted and felt like I had to write that tweet to let you know at the end of the day I’m a 27 year old girl with feelings & a family who get upset also when they see vile comments about my appearance. Something needs to change with our society!!”
Several celebrities sent messages of support, including ex-Love Island contestant Olivia Buckland, 24, who said the same had happened to her. She said: “From one strong lady to another; we’re better than that. Can’t even give any advice Cus I know whatever is said doesn’t change the way it’s upset you. All I know is that you are better than words.”
Love Island host Caroline Flack, 38, who was also on Aftersun , tweeted: “You were BRILLIANT tonight. And lovely to chat after.”
And Scarlett, whose dress slipped to reveal her bra during Aftersun, thanked Love Island narrator Iain Stirling, 30, for his message after he tweeted that she was hot, and “the sweetest, most approachable individual out there”.
