Danny Dyer 'pulled out all of the stops' for daughter Dani's lavish wedding
EXCLUSIVE: Dani Dyer has married her footballer boyfriend Jarrod Bowen in a stunning ceremony attended by family and friends, with the reality star looking every inch the beautiful bride
Danny Dyer is said to have pulled out 'all of the stops' for his daughter Dani's lavish wedding to West Ham player Jarrod Bowen in a 'thank you' as the actor is said to owe some of his career to his eldest.
The former Love Island star looked every inch the beautiful bride on Saturday as she tied the knot to Jarrod in a stunning ceremony, surrounded by family and friends. The big day came four years after Dani and Jarrod's relationship began, with the pair meeting while the former was navigating life as a single mum to Santiago, her son with her ex, Sammy Kimmence.
Beginning as neighbours, friendship blossomed into love for the couple and in May 2023, they had their own twin daughters, Summer and Star. And now that the duo are husband and wife, a source tells Mirror how Dani is hoping to have a long-lasting marriage like her own parents; Danny and Joanne Mas.
'Family is everything to Dani and Danny is the same way. He pulled out all of the stops to make sure it's a wedding no one would forget for his little girl – the best day of her life. He adores her and actually says he's got her to thank for some things because Dani winning Love Island boosted his career too.
'Dani feels she has found her soulmate in Jarrod and it's a relief after she's had so many ups and downs. Everyone else loves him too. Jarrod and Danny get on so well, which was important to Dani, so it was always going to be a wonderful celebration for the family.'
Danny and Joanne were childhood sweethearts, but they only got married in 2016. They have been together for more than three decades – and their relationship has survived a few bumps in the road. Shortly after the birth of their first child, Dani, the couple ended up taking a short break from each other before reuniting and having two more children, Sunnie and Arty.
In an episode of ITV series The Assembly, which was broadcast in April, Danny, 47, spoke about their relationship, which has survived multiple cheating allegations throughout his career.
Describing how he felt about his wife after their wedding, Danny said, 'To be standing here with the girl I grew up with – looking so beautiful in her wedding dress – that is a lovely thing. Jo is my best girl, the love of my life. Without her, I would be nothing.'
Dani previously admitted she was sceptical about getting serious with Jarrod and couldn't believe he wanted to 'take on' both Dani and her young son, who is now four. Opening up about their early days, Dani revealed it was in fact her dad who warned her she was going to 'lose him' if she didn't stop trying to 'put him off'. It was her parents' advice that gave her the motivation to make things work with the footballer.
Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, Dani said, 'I don't know why I kept doing that to him. In the end, I was getting to a point where my mum and dad were like, 'Listen, Dani, you're going to end up losing him. Stop it! He wants to take you and Santi on. He's more than happy to do that. So just appreciate that and be happy that he wants to.''
Indeed, Dani's dad has shown constant support for the couple since they got together. Chatting on The Jonathan Ross Show in February, he admitted he was 'on the verge of tears' when Jarrod called him to 'ask for her hand in marriage'.
Gushing over the footballer, who is West Ham's captain, Danny described him as a 'very humble, brilliant, beautiful man who worships the ground she walks on'.

New Love Island star exits ITV show after bosses learn of past arrest
One Love Island star has left the ITV villa after bosses learned of his past arrest. The star, who was released with no further action, said he 'fully cooperated with the police investigation' A new Love Island star was recently removed from the line-up of the upcoming series after bosses learned of his past arrest. Kyle Ashman, who was due to take part in the dating series airing this month, is no longer entering the Spanish villa following news of his recent arrest coming to light. Earlier this year, the 23-year-old water operative was arrested and quizzed by police with another person over an attack in Stafford, which Kyle said he had no involvement in a recent statement. After being quizzed by police, he was released with no further action. Speaking on his exit, Kyle said: "I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation." ITV also released a statement on his departure saying: "For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned. Staffordshire Police had previously said: 'We were called to a social club on Riverway, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Friday, February 28 following reports that someone had been glassed outside and a fight was taking place. Some of the men involved were wearing masks and were carrying weapons. 'Two men went to hospital after suffering injuries at the scene. Both have since been discharged. A man and a woman suffered minor injuries at the scene but did not want any medical treatment. 'Officers have reviewed CCTV footage and have been actively carrying out enquiries to find out more about what happened. A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.' The police later confirmed both suspects were released with no further action last month. Meanwhile, when Kyle was meant to enter the villa, he shared his expectations from the show and shared how he flirted with women. He said: "I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there." The star went on to say he was looking for "someone that's fun, confident and just themselves".

Love Island star's SHOCK EXIT as they leave the villa ahead of upcoming series after citing 'personal reasons'
Love Island star Kyle Ashman has left the show ahead of the launch episode next Monday. ITV have confirmed the 23-year-old from Stafford has chosen not to enter the villa and has decided to leave the show for personal reasons. It comes amid The Sun's reports that Kyle was involved in an machete attack in February when masked thugs stormed a wake and hacked at a dad with a blade. Kyle was one of two arrested by police but he was released with no further action and he has now confirmed he had no involvement in the incident, but has chosen to leave the ITV show regardless. Kyle told MailOnline: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meanwhile ITV added: 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.' The Love Island line up was announced on Tuesday so Kyle's departure will have plunged the show into chaos ahead of Monday's launch episode. The Sun have revealed they alerted bosses on Kyle being questioned in the attack but ITV said they were unaware of the incident and he was not flagged during the contestant checks. The incident on February 28 saw the victim, 38, nearly lose his arm after he was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept it for around two weeks. Another mourner was reportedly glassed, one hit with a metal pole, and two people were run over by a car during the 15 minute attack at the The White Eagle Club in Stafford. Sources said the victim was attacked by three balaclava-clad thugs over an alleged £3,000 debt. He was injured by a blade that left him with a deep gash and has suffered tendon damage and is now unable to drive. Police confirmed yesterday that after the matter had been investigated Kyle and another individual were released with no further action only last month. The incident on February 28 at The White Eagle Club in Stafford saw the victim, 38, nearly lose his arm after he was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment A show source told the publication: 'ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle's past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island's stringent DBS checks. 'It's only right he can now return home to the UK to share his side of the story and therefore bosses took the decision that it was best for him not to enter the villa.' Staffordshire Police said on Monday: 'A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.' Kyle, who works as a water operative, doesn't have a strong social media presence with just one Insta pic on his profile. Prior to his announced departure, Kyle said he was looking for 'someone that's fun, confident and just themselves'.

Love Island Sophie Lee's TV star ex ‘gutted and blindsided' she's signed up for show as they have ‘unfinished business'
LOVE Island beauty Sophie Lee's TV star ex has been left devastated after she was revealed in the villa line-up. The 29-year-old motivational speaker will soon make a splash in Majorca and it's all proving tough to take for Ouzy See, who took part in series 10 of the show. 4 Sophie Lee's casting on Love Island has taken her ex by surprise Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Ouzy See believes they still have 'unfinished business' Credit: ITV A friend of the semi-pro footballer told us: 'Ouzy was really shocked and blindsided to see Sophie had signed up for Love Island. "He was gutted because he feels like there is still unfinished business between the two of them. "While they aren't dating anymore, he thinks she's an amazing girl and they ended on good terms. "It's weird for anyone though knowing your ex is about to go on Love Island and could fall for someone else on TV.' Ouzy, 30, was totally smitten with Sophie back in 2023 at the start of their fledgling romance. He accompanied her to the Beauty Awards where she won Beauty Influencer of the Year. Ouzy told us on the red carpet: "It's going really well," prompting Sophie to chime in: "He's really kind, that's my favourite thing about him." The former villa hunk then gushed: "She's inspirational. We've been dating for a few months." When asked if they were in love, they giggled and replied: "We'll see." Sophie overcame a near-death experience in her early 20s. Ten Years of Love Island The dancer, from Manchester, was performing with flaming props when the freak accident on stage in Chicago left her fighting for her life. The air-con in the venue was too powerful and blasted a fireball back at her, causing her face and chest to 'go up in flames'. Sophie told Fabulous Digital: 'The air-con was too strong so when I blew the fire out it blew back to me. It set me on fire. I just remember being in so much pain, I blacked out for a little bit. It's crazy. 'It happened in front of everyone and I had to get on with it as professionally and quickly as I could. As soon as I got into the ambulance, I was in bits." Sophie spent a month in intensive care in America by herself, while receiving treatment for the burns. 4 The former couple at the 2023 Beauty Awards Credit: Instagram 4 Sophie is a dancer from Manchester Credit: instagram/sophirelee
