Dani Dyer 'signs up for Strictly' after marrying Jarrod Bowen on emotional day
Dani Dyer has reportedly signed up to take part in this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing after tying the knot with footballer Jarrod Bowen in a lavish wedding this weekend. The 28-year-old, who is the daughter of actor Danny Dyer, is best known for winning Love Island back in 2018.
While her romance with Love Island co-star Jack Fincham didn't work out, Dani finally found her happy ending - with the TV star marrying Premier League footballer Jarrod, 28, after they first started dating in 2021. Now, the TV star is rumoured to be taking to the Strictly dancefloor, with reports that she has signed a pre-contract for the show and is currently in pay deal talks.
A Strictly insider told The Sun that BBC bosses are "thrilled" that she'll be taking part and are currently "ironing out her fee". They added: "She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant — not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her."
The Mirror has reached out to Strictly Come Dancing and Dani Dyer's representatives for comment.
Mum-of-three Dani wed Jarrod in a low-key ceremony, with Dani stunning in a Suzanne Neville dress that reportedly cost £10,000 and paid for by her parents Danny and Jo.
Dani's younger sister Sunnie, 18, gave a special speech on the big day and rea a poem from Sex and The City, according to MailOnline. It read: "His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do.'"
Meanwhile, Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters Star and Summer were flower girls, while Dani's four-year-old son Santiago who she shares with ex Sammy Kimmence was a page boy alongside Dani's brother Arty, 11.
It wasn't an entirely wholesome day however, with the couple's wedding guests singing a hilariously X-rated football chant after their nuptials. As they entered the reception for the first time as husband and wife, their guests began chanting the widely-known West Ham song: "Bowen's on fire, and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer."

Chelsea issue telling response after Scholes makes bold Caicedo claim
Chelsea issued a telling response after Paul Scholes' comments about midfielder Moises Caicedo caused a stir on social media. After a mixed first season at Stamford Bridge, Caicedo has grown into his role at Chelsea, featuring in all 38 Premier League games and thriving in Enzo Maresca's side. The Ecuadorian international was deservedly crowned Chelsea's Player of the Year, having helped guide the club back to the Champions League as well as scoring in the final of their Conference League win over Real Betis. But not everyone was convinced with Caicedo's impact for the Blues this season, most notably former Manchester United midfielder Scholes. Speaking on the latest episode of The Overlap with SkyBet, Scholes said: 'I think a lot of people talk about Caicedo. 'He's played 38 games'. Brilliant, what an achievement. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. 'But was there much quality? Did he create a lot? Did he control a lot of games for Chelsea? I don't remember that. 'I think there's an era now, with midfielders especially, where you can go through seasons and games without really contributing.' Many fans on social media were surprised by Scholes' comments, and it appears even Chelsea were keen to issue a rebuttal. Posting on the club's X account, the Blues posted a thread of statistics highlighting that Caicedo had made the most appearances (38) and won the most tackles (114) of any Chelsea player in the Premier League last season. — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) June 3, 2025 Only four players made more tackles than Caicedo in the league last campaign, with Marc Cucurella the next best in a Chelsea shirt with 67. Some fans on social media were less cryptic with their rebutals towards Scholes for his comments. 'This is genuinely one of the worst bits of punditry I've ever seen. And if Paul Scholes has said this he quite simply doesn't watch much football,' one user wrote on X. More Trending Another added: 'You can't watch Chelsea's games, and do even a 30-second stat check, and think Moises Caicedo that was a star for Brighton, and now Chelsea doesn't 'contribute a lot'. The eye test doesn't lie. The stats don't lie. He's wrong'. Even Caicedo's fellow teammates have been vocal with their praise about his consistent levels of performance this season. 'He's a machine. From the start of the season, he has been our best player,' Cole Palmer told Sky Sports last month. 'Wins the ball back all the time. Always 100 per cent everyday. Humble, nice to everyone and everyone loves him.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
