Dani Dyer is wishing her famous dad Danny Dyer a very happy birthday as she shared a series of sweet throwback snaps of the pair.

The Love Island 2018 winner, 24, called her EastEnders star dad "one in a million" in the heartwarming post, as she thanked him for always being there for her.

The first of the six snaps shows little Dani on her dad's lap as they both smile for the camera, with the following snap showing Dani, Danny and mum Jo Mas at an event.

Other snaps include sweet selfies from recent years, with the final picture showing baby Dani in her dad's arms.

"You truly are one in a million and one of the most important people in my life. Love you forever."

Naturally, Dani's followers were quick to show their love for the images.
