Trivia
If, when reading lists of Love Island winners, you come across Dyer's name and wonder if we've spelled it incorrectly, we haven't - Dani is the name he gave his daughter. She would appear with her father for series 2 of True Love or True Lies.
When appearing on the BBC genealogy show Who Do You Think You Are?, he found out that he was a direct descendent of 14th century king Edward III. Which, geneticists say, also applies to virtually everybody in Britain, but don't tell Danny because he was well chuffed about it.
