Early life

Dani Charlotte Dyer was born to Joanne Mas and Danny Dyer on 8 August 1996 in the London Borough of Newham.[2] She has a younger sister Sunnie and a younger brother Artie,[3] and worked as a barmaid in Loughton, Essex before appearing on television.[4]

She will appear alongside her father who portrays series regular Mick Carter and will play a taxi driver named Jeanette.[14]

Personal life

Dyer was in a relationship with Sammy Kimmence prior to appearing on Love Island. While on the series, Dyer was in a relationship with Fincham; the pair split later that year.[15] Dyer and Kimmence then were pictured together and it was reported that their relationship had been rekindled, which was later confirmed by Dyer.[16] On 28 July 2020, the couple announced via social media that Dyer was pregnant with their first child.[17][18] On 23 January 2021, she gave birth to a son named Santiago.[19][20] Kimmence was subsequently jailed for three-and-a-half years for defrauding two pensioners in a betting scam.
