DANI DYER on Confidence Struggles, Dad's Addictions & Why I Never Visited My Son's Father In Prison

1 hour 18 minutes | Wednesday, 29 October 2025

We all fell for Dani Dyer when she appeared on Love Island back in 2018. She’s a proper family girl - lives just a 6 minute drive from her parents - she once tried living 20 minutes away but that was too far, and I think this is what people love about Dani: she’s warm, charming and down to earth. Her dad also happens to be the tough guy actor, Danny Dyer which makes her bubbly sweetness even more likeable. I was excited to have her into the studio for a proper chat.What stood out to me the most about our chat was her battles with self confidence, which I believe something to be so universal. We all can suffer from lack of confidence, and all have our own worries, insecurities and anxieties and it is by opening up that we realise that we are not so alone.We cover:•⁠ ⁠Her struggles with confidence from a young age•⁠ ⁠How an accident led her to Love Island - plus her dad’s reaction to her being on the show•⁠ ⁠Failed relationships and what she’s learnt from them•⁠ ⁠Her dad’s addiction struggles and the impact on her growing up•⁠ ⁠How she dealt with the father of her first child going to prison•⁠ ⁠Meeting her husband, Jarrod Bowen (and the song the fans like to sing) Dani came across to me as such a bright spirit and a reminder to me that everyone has their own battles to fight and by opening up we are not so alone.
