Dani, daughter of actor Danny, 48, added: 'Turns out, once I'd left, he kissed one of the other girls from school. "The next day, everyone turned against me because I'd kissed him. I began getting these abusive messages on Facebook calling me a 's**g'. 'And because we all had a BlackBerry, I was also getting BBM [BlackBerry Messenger] messages saying stuff like, 'What goes around comes around'.' Earlier in the week, Strictly was embroiled in 'fix' row after Dani claimed she was a 'qualified dancer'. Dani was the second celebrity contestant confirmed for Strictly Come Dancing 2025, with the announcement being made on The One Show last week. Dani shot to fame when she won Love Island in 2018 - with her new reality stint very different to the dating show. But now it has been revealed that in an unearthed passage from her autobiography, Dani boasted about being a "qualified dancer". She said in her 2019 book that she would put "qualified dancer" under the list of qualifications on her CV. Writing in her book, which came out six years ago, Dani wrote about how she went to theatre school at weekends from the age of 2 to 14. Dani Dyer reveals she's axed show with dad Danny ahead of Strictly "It was called O'Farrell's Stage School and I was a really good little dancer," she said. Dani added: "I'm not a bad singer but it was the dance stuff I loved more - jazz, tap, ballet, modern. I'd get home and prance around the house." 5 August 3 saw Alex Kingston, 62, revealed Credit: BBC 5 Nitro, 36, of TV's Gladiators was unmasked on June 15 Credit: BBC
