When ITV announced that Dani Dyer, the daughter of Danny Dyer, would entering the Love Island villa, people’s heads turned.

How would the descendent of William the Conqueror and Edward III react? Was the Eastenders actor aware of what happened on Love Island? (Spoiler: heartbreak and occasional sex.)

“I didn’t want her to do it. I’d never seen it before,” Danny said while appearing on Good Evening Britain, a special edition of Good Morning Britain. ”You fear it as a father.”

However, the father of three added that there’s a £50,000 prize and that “Dani’s gonna win it.”

He continued: “As it’s gone on, I think what she’s done is she’s proved with this reality TV thing that actually you can be a decent girl, with self-respect, dignity, not be rolling under the bedsheets, still have respect off the man and be loved and adored by young people.”

Dyer concluded that current boyfriend Jack Fincham ”seems like a good kid”.

The actor also commented on Brexit while appearing on the show alongside Jeremy Corbyn, calling David Cameron – the Prime Minister who called for a European referendum – a ‘t**t’. You can watch the incident here.
