Inside Dani Dyer & Jarrod Bowen's wedding wearing £10k gown & dad banned from swearing as she signs for Strictly
DANI Dyer wed Premier League footie ace Jarrod Bowen yesterday — and landed a starring role in the new Strictly Come Dancing series. The former Love Islander, who tied the knot with West Ham's Jarrod in an intimate outdoor wedding, has signed pre-contract for the show and is in pay deal talks. 5 A Strictly insider said: 'Bosses are thrilled she's agreed to take part and are ironing out her fee. '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.' Former EastEnders star Danny walked daughter Dani, 28, down the aisle for the perfect love match at a pastel-themed ceremony with 'Bridgerton vibes' in the Bucks countryside. She wore a £10,000 white off-the-shoulder gown by British designer Suzanne Neville paid for by Danny and her mum, Jo, 48. Dad-of-three West Ham fan Danny, 47, known for colourful language, was barred from swearing in his father-of-the-bride speech and got a stern warning from Jo yesterday to keep it clean. Later, Dani's sister Sunnie, 18, read a wedding-themed poem from Sex and The City. The verse, recited by the sitcom's Carrie Bradshaw at a friend's big day, ends with the words: 'And his answer was, 'I do'.' Guests, meanwhile, chanted t he West Ham anthem: 'Bowen's on fire, and he's sh*gging Dani Dyer. Among pals at wedding at The Langley, a five-star hotel near Iver, were Arsenal and England ace Declan Rice, once a team-mate of Jarrod. Watch as Dani Dyer dances with booze on her flight to Ibiza as she wears West Ham kit on second hen do ahead of Jarrod Bowen wedding A source said: 'Danny and Jo were very emotional about Dani getting married. "She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows. 'They couldn't be more proud and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it but they're keeping it traditional. 'Jo made sure Danny's speech wasn't outrageous. 'Her and Danny's wedding present was paying for Dani's dresses and her hen-do. They've really splashed out on her.' I feel like if I'm Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me. Dani on keeping the Dyer name Dani and Jarrod's two-year-old twin daughters Star and Summer were flower girls at the wedding. Her son Santiago, four, from a previous relationship, and brother Arty, 11, were page boys. She revealed beforehand that the ceremony would be 'very family focused' and would only have around 50 guests from their 'nearest and dearest'. Dani will be known in future as Dani Dyer-Bowen, keeping her own name 'just because of my work'. She said: 'I feel like if I'm Dani Bowen, it takes that thing away from me.' Poem that Dani's sister read out 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' 5 5

Brits receive two new TV channels on Freeview that kids will love – exact numbers you need to type in
The new channels will be streaming-only services CHANNEL HOPPER Brits receive two new TV channels on Freeview that kids will love – exact numbers you need to type in BRITS are to get wider access to two new Freeview channels for kids this week. A shopping channel will also make a debut in some regions as the Freeview service is updated. 4 The channels will now be more widely avaliable Credit: Alamy 4 Both channels are designed for young children Freeview users will be able to access Pop and Tiny Pop this week following a change to the service. The changes are part of May's Freeview channel update with the two new channels available this week on channels 205 and 206. Brits have been advised that they may need to retune their TVs to get access. The two channels, once broadly available as traditional linear channels, will now be streaming-only services. An areal and internet connection will be required to view the two kids channels. They have transferred from local to national coverage meaning they will be much more widely available to viewers. As streaming-only services the children's TV channels require an internet connected TV to be viewed. A terrestrial TV signal will also be required to view the new kids channels. Any standard TV that can access Freeview and has internet connection should be able to watch the new channels. Freeview's website states: "Tiny Pop offers a fun and safe environment for children aged four to six to laugh, learn and grow, with a brilliantly diverse range of programming and fun interactive games. " The two channels are now available to a wider audience after the changes. They were available on Sky and Freeview before the changes but to a smaller audience. SWAP YOUR STREAMS TO SAVE! Here's some bill-slashing advice from The Sun's tech editor Sean Keach... If you're like me, you'll be paying out more than you'd like on subscriptions each month. It's easy to lose track of where all the money goes, and the fear of missing out makes it hard to bin Netflix. But if you're paying for several streaming services, you're making a big mistake. Instead, try something called stream swapping. Cancel all of your TV subscriptions except for Netflix, then burn through all of the telly you want to watch on the app. Then cancel that and sign up for another service, like Disney+. Watch all of the good stuff there and then move on, perhaps to Amazon Video. Do this with three or four apps and then cycle back to Netflix at the start. This way, you get to watch all of the top content on each app but you're not paying for them all at the same time. And you might even get to take advantage of some attractive sign-up offers too. It could save you hundreds each year if you stick to it. Pop is aimed at children aged 5-8 while Tiny Pop is aimed at kids aged 4-6. Pop shows a number of TV programmes including Pokemon and Tiny Pop shows series like Hello Kitty: Super Style!. The kids channels, as well as being available on TV, can also be viewed on various streaming services. YouTube, the Pop Player app and FAST platforms such as Samsung TV Plus can access the channels. As well as introducing two new kids channels the Freeview May changes will see two music channels rebrand. A shopping channel will also be introduced, making its debut in some regions. There are no changes for viewers who receive the reduced line-up of Freeview channels via a relay. There will also be no changes for Freeview viewers in the Channel Islands. 4 Several Freeview updates will come into effect this week Credit:
