Love Island: Danny Dyer gives Jack the seal of approval

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

It can't be easy having one of the most nerve-racking moments of any relationship - meeting the parents - broadcast on national television, much less when the father you're meeting is one Danny Dyer.

Though the Eastenders star wasn't able to visit the Love Island villa in person, he dropped in via Skype to surprise his daughter Dani and deliver his verdict on her new man Jack.

Fortunately, Danny seems to have taken a shine to him, declaring Jack to be "absolutely bang on" and even going so far as to admire Jack's belly, which he said in the comparison to the others: "they’re all abbed up but got nothing about 'em."

"Babe he’s lovely. He’s a proper geezer mate. You’ve found a right proper geezer in there," he said of Dani's beau. When the man in question was brought into the room, he continued: "Look at him, look at him. Look at his little face. Do you know what Jack, listen. Proper geezer, gotta say."

"I’ll tell you what I love about you, I love the fact you got a little Derby. You got so much charisma. Takes a brave man to bowl into that gaff, them all ‘abbed up’, proper geezer. Honestly, mate, we’re so over the moon.”

It goes without saying that Love Island fans were over the moon about Danny's approval.


Others weren't so pleased that Danny wasn't able to grace the villa with his actual presence.

The Love Island final takes place on Monday 30 July at 9pm.
