Dani Dyer might be best-known for winning Love Island Eastenders star Danny Dyer as a father, but the 23-year-old may soon eclipse both claims to fame for lyrical genius thanks to her latest project: What Would Dani Do? My guide to living your best life.
Quotes from the fledgling reality TV star’s memoir have been splashed across social media as people revel in her whimsical soundbites on everything from first kisses (“he tongued me like a lizard”) to Nando’s (“I was just the fried halloumi when all I wanted to be was the full chicken”).
Dyer, who recently split from boyfriend and Love Island co-star Jack Fincham , has described the book as a “guide to young people”.
Speaking on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch Love Island.
Dyer added that since appearing on the ITV2 programme, she has been inundated with messages from young girls asking for advice, which she hopes the book offers.
