Love Island teaser: Family members surprise the Islanders
Love Island 2018 viewers will see Danny Dyer and his wife Joanne Mas make an appearance in tonight’s episode.
The duo will get the chance to speak to the happy couple Dani and Jack, as islanders get the chance to meet their other half’s parents.
However, the EastEnders star is not expected to set foot in the villa, but instead greet his daughter and her boyfriend via a video link.
Ahead of this evening's episode, the 41-year-old has shared his thoughts about watching the former barmaid and aspiring actress in the reality TV show.
And, it appears that the actor has been very impressed by what he’s seen so far, as he praised the 21-year-old for not having gotten intimate with her beau on national TV.
She is a role model for young kids.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he gushed: “She has spun it on its head and she has not f****d about under the quilts once.
“She is a role model for young kids. She doesn’t need to do that.”
In tonight’s episode, Dani will get the chance to introduce her boyfriend Jack, 26, to her parents for the first time.
And, it seems like the Essex hunk will go down a treat with the EastEnders favourite - who is set to give him his stamp of approval.
During their chat, the actor tells him: "Listen, I approve of you mate. I think you're absolutely bang on.
However, Danny is set to confess that he had concerns about the couple at the start of Jack and Dani’s relationship - which began after the duo coupled up together in the first episode of this year’s series.
Explaining he wasn’t initially convinced by their romance, the star admits: “I weren't at first, I thought 'oh here we go'."
He goes on to gush over the stationery salesman, telling him: “Do you know what Jack, listen. Proper geezer, gotta say.
“I’ll tell you what I love about you, I love the fact you got a little Derby,” the East Ender continues.
"You got so much charisma. Takes a brave man to bowl into that gaff, them all 'abbed up', proper geezer.”
Reassuring the reality TV star that Dani’s family were happy with her choice of beau, Danny insists: “Honestly mate, we're so over the moon."
It came as the 38-year-old shared a photo which included two silhouettes - which some fans insisted appeared to be the outline of the islanders.
Viewers will be able to find out in tonight’s episode which stars will be leaving the villa.
