Gabby’s warning

- ■ by ED GLEAVE edward.gleave@dailystar.co.uk

LOVE Island favourite Dani Dyer got tearful when she was reunited with her family.

In emotional scenes her grandparen­ts Carol and Tolo entered the villa.

The 21-year-old also saw her parents after producers arranged for dad Danny and mum Joanne Mas to be beamed in via a video link.

It’s the first time Dani has spoken to her loved ones since pairing up with fellow contestant Jack Fincham, 26. He is said to be nervous what her hard-man dad Danny will say.

In a teaser for tonight’s episode, the EastEnders actor declares: “Where is he? I’m gonna kill him!”

Producers brought loved ones in with just hours to go until the final. The move is designed to put the couples to the test to see who is likely to go the distance.

Jack’s mum Samantha and brother Oliver also entered the villa. Bosses have dubbed the Meet The Parents stunt “the ultimate relationsh­ip test”.

A Love Island spokesman said: “This is the first time that the Islanders’ families will come face to face and give their own verdicts on couples.”

There were tears from Laura Anderson as she was reunited with her dad David and sister Danielle.

Hunk Wes Nelson was greeted by parents Pauline and Alfie.

Meanwhile, Kaz Crossley saw mum Kesorn and step-dad Carl Matthews. Jack and Dani last night remained the clear favourites to win.

Bookies Coral have them at 1-8 to take home the £50,000 in the live final tomorrow night.

Josh Denzel and Kaz are second favourites at 11-2. And bookies have seen a surge in support for Scottish Laura, who is coupled up with Paul Knops.

A Coral spokesman said: “There’s real momentum behind Paul and Laura in the villa right now.” THE couples have been warned they face a tough time if their relationsh­ips don’t last.

Gabby Allen fell for Marcel Somerville on last year’s show but they split after he was exposed as a cheat.

She said: “After you leave Love Island everyone is watching everything you do. People feel like they know you because they’ve been seeing you every day on the show.

“It’s nice that people root for you. But when you go through the sh***ier times it’s hard.

“Everyone has an opinion and you just have to let it go over your head. I took a few days away from social media.”
