Dani Dyer shared second baby plans days before beau Sammy Kimmence was sent to prison

Dani Dyer is mother to son Santiago - who she shares with Sammy Kimmence.

And the Love Island star is having to navigate life alone with a seven-month-old tot after Sammy was sent to prison.

This week, new dad Sammy cried in court as he was sentenced to 3.5 years in jail for scamming two elderly men, Peter Martin, 91, and Peter Haynes, 81, out of almost £34,000.

He scammed the pensioners by persuading them to let him invest their money for them and then spent it on his own lavish holidays, dinners and flashy clothes.

Since the sentencing reports have emerged that reality TV personality Dani thought the father of her child would "be would be let off" for his con artist ways, and in a YouTube video filmed prior to Sammy being issued prison time Dani confessed that she was planning on having a second child in the next 24 months.

She shared her plans after fans quizzed her on when she wanted a second child.

Dani revealed: "I'll probably wait until Santi is two."

She continued: "I don't feel like you can plan these things. I feel like when I'm ready.

"I don't want to rush it...people who have babies like two under one. I reckon it's amazing when they're older because they're best friends.

"But that must be difficult. But I feel like you can't plan.

"I'm literally just loving being Santi's mummy at the minute and I'm enjoying just him growing up and I really want to just cherish these moments and not rush it."

After Sammy was sent down reports claiming that Dani decided to end her relationship with Sammy.

With an insider claiming that she was "absolutely floored" after this week's verdict.

"She is absolutely floored by what's happened with Sammy. She knows she has to make massive changes in her life and she's so distraught..." the source told MailOnline.

"All she knows is that her baby boy Santiago is the only thing that matters now and she is trying to work out how best to look after him as a single parent. She needs time to think it through. Sammy completely downplayed the court case every step of the way."

Dani is yet to break her silence on her Sammy being locked up but revealed on social media yesterday that she was packing for a holiday with her tot.

On Wednesday, Kimmence, who had denied all the charges before a last-minute change of plea, was sent to prison for five counts of fraud, totalling £33,919.

Judge Timothy Mousley QC gave him 30 months' imprisonment for his duping of Mr Martin and 12 months for the fraud against Mr Haynes.

He must serve at least half of that sentence.

Standing in the dock at Portsmouth Crown Court, Kimmence, dressed in a black suit, spoke only to confirm his name before sobbing during the hearing as his dishonesty was outlined.

The judge said: "You defrauded two men of significant sums of money, both were elderly gentlemen, neither was a wealthy man.

"Whilst these men trusted you, you used their money to fund your lifestyle.

"This was a significant abuse of trust."

Kimmence's victims had been his clients when he worked as Senior Trader at Equine Global Sports Limited, a company that later went into liquidation.

The firm received money from customers which it would use to place bets on horse races, on their behalf.

After the company closed, Kimmence contacted his two victims and pretended he would continue investing their money in the same way.

The court heard how Kimmence had travelled to visit Mr Haynes and Mr Martin - who lived in Havant, Hants and sadly died in November last year aged 91 - at their homes several times as he "groomed them".

Documents sent to the victims by Kimmence included fake company names and an "entirely fabricated" Gambling Commission number.

These were riddled with errors, including "miscalculated balances" and a misspelling of Kimmence's own name.

Mr Mason said these letters demonstrated "some pre-thinking" as the letters "set these men up to believe this was an established, credible business".

Kimmence convinced Mr Martin to give him his internet banking password, credit card and bank card.

The court also heard that, five days after Kimmence was arrested, he messaged Mr Martin to say "stop the investigation".

Kimmence's sentencing had previously been delayed twice: first to June 25 from June 11 and then to July 14.

Back in April at his last court appearance, Sammy was granted conditional bail until his next hearing.
