Dani Dyer won’t lock lips on screen during ‘Love Island’.
The 22-year-old daughter of ‘EastEnders’ star Danny Dyer has signed up for the upcoming series of the ITV2 reality show – which sees a set of singles head off to a sunny villa with the hopes of finding love – but despite the show carrying a reputation for contestants getting hot and heavy on camera, Dani insists she won’t be following that trend.
She told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: "I have so many eyes watching me. Kissing? No, I don’t think so. I will just have to resist it, you know what I mean? I’ll just have to do it when I get out.
"If they like me they can wait for a kiss – but if I have a glass of wine or something I could be in trouble because then I get flirty."
The barmaid has already had to promise her dad that she won’t be having sex on television, after she previously landed a spot on ‘Survival Of The Fittest’, but was forced to pull out when she dislocated her shoulder during a challenge.
Before her appearance on the show, she was asked what Danny would say if she had sex on TV, and she said: "Oh my god, I would never have sex on telly. He has already given me a warning to behave. I was like, ‘I will’. He is massively protective. I haven’t had many boyfriends so he has had it quite easy until now. I’ll even have to resist kissing and wait until I get out. Me and my dad are really close, he’s like my best mate."
And it seems the 40-year-old actor hasn’t changed his stance on the matter, and sources reported recently that he is concerned about her new job.
An insider said: "Danny wasn’t happy about her signing up to do ‘Love Island’ because he doesn’t want her have sex on-screen.
"He thinks it could damage her reputation in years to come. No father wants to see their daughter romping on national TV. He’s imposed a strict no-bonking ban as he doesn’t want her to do anything she regrets. He doesn’t even want her to snog anyone."
