Dani Dyer's West End dream for son Santiago as she starts planning his career

Dani Dyer has already begun planning her baby son’s future career.

The former Love Island star, 24, welcomed her baby boy Santiago last month with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.

Now, the proud new mum has revealed that she feels as though her son will have his name in lights as he’s set to follow in her showbiz footsteps.

Dani has shared her hopes of her son being the next ‘Billy Elliot’ on the West End stages.

Taking to Instagram on Saturday morning, the reality TV star filmed herself and Santiago catching up on some TV as she watched her favourite film ‘of all time’.

Filming herself in her pyjamas as she cuddled Santiago, Dani shared: "I literally love our morning cuddles together.

"I'm watching Billy Elliot and I just think… Imagine if he was Billy Elliot on the stage?

"I'd love it, I'd love him to be in the West End performing.

“I don't know why I'm thinking about his career path, it's literally years, years, years away. I'm just excited for it."

If Santiago was to follow in his mum’s footsteps, he would be joining a family full to the brim of showbiz success (danidyerxx/Instagram)

If Santiago was to follow in his mum’s footsteps, he would be joining a family full to the brim of showbiz success.

Dani’s father, Danny Dyer is a household name after starring in a string of movie and thanks to his role as Mick Carter in EastEnders.

Meanwhile, Dani shot to fame in 2018 when she appeared on ITV’s Love Island.

Although she went on to win the show alongside former boyfriend Jack Fincham, Dani’s famous dad was furious with her when she initially dropped the bombshell that she was joining the controversial show.

Speaking about the moment she told her father about the move in their podcast Sorted With The Dyers, the doting new mum explained it was "very awkward" and that they "didn't talk for weeks".

“He didn't like me. We didn't really talk. It was very awkward. Oh my god, I'd walk into the room and it would be so awkward,” she revealed.

"No, we didn't talk," Danny confessed. "I think I was upset because we were very close and you'd spoke about it to everyone, I was the last f***er."

Danny said he watched his daughter in the villa and he was "proud" of her for being loyal and he enjoyed watching the "very authentic vulnerable thing unfold".
