Dani Dyer snubbed by EastEnders

OHMYGOSSIP — Dani Dyer was rejected by ‘EastEnders’.
The ‘Love Island’ winner claimed bosses wouldn’t let her be on the show because it would spark a “massive outrage” and suggestions of favouritism if she landed a part alongside her dad Danny Dyer, who has played Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter since 2013, in the BBC soap.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “I don’t know about ‘EastEnders’, they wouldn’t let me in it.
“They won’t let me, and are like, ‘it ain’t going to happen’.
“I think it’s because my dad is already on it so if I went on it there would be a massive outrage.”
And an insider revealed the “heartbroken” aspiring actress set her sights on reality shows ‘Survival of the Fittest’ and ‘Love Island’ following her disappointment over missing out on her “dream job”.
The source said: “Dani’s dream job was working on ‘EastEnders’ with her dad.
“She auditioned but was heartbroken when she didn’t get the part.
“She was sick of bar work and was struggling to make it as an actress so decided to do reality TV.
“Dad Danny wasn’t too keen at first but even he’s admitted it was the perfect move for her.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed Danny was “apprehensive” about his 22-year-old daughter appearing on ‘Love Island’ but is thrilled with the success it has brought her, as well as happiness with boyfriend Jack Fincham.
His ‘EastEnders’ co-star Ricky Champ said: “There has been [conversations on set]. I remember talking briefly at the start with him. I think he was quite apprehensive of his daughter going in there. But what we’re left with, she’s got out of it with her integrity intact. She’s won the money and won the show but I think that was more important – and a bit of a feat on a show like that. Good luck to her, I’m sure her parents are very proud – beaming.”
