Love Island fans react to Danny Dyer Skyping into the show

'Look at him, look at him. Look at his little face. Do you know what Jack, listen. Proper geezer, gotta say'

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.
