Danny Dyer couldn’t fight back the tears at his daughter Dani’s wedding to West Ham star Jarrod Bowen.
The former Love Island star, 28, married striker Bowen, 28, in a lavish ceremony at the five-star Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire on Saturday after five years of dating.
In an emotional video shared by Bowen on Instagram, Danny could be seen looking choked up when he first saw Dani in her wedding dress at her bridal suite, before proudly walking his daughter down the aisle.
The Rivals actor, 47, also comforted Bowen, who wiped away tears watching Dani reach the altar, before sitting in the front row and crying himself as the couple exchanged their vows.
Another clip showed Danny giving an animated speech to the guests, something he had reportedly promised Dani he wouldn’t make too “outrageous”.
The father-daughter duo were later seen sharing a sweet first dance in front of the guests, smiling as they spun round in the middle of the room.
Dani called the wedding “the best day of my entire life,” on her social media and added that it was: “A day that I will want to re-live forever.”
An insider told The Sun: “Danny and Jo [his wife Joanne Mas] were very emotional about Dani getting married. She was their first born and she was there through all the highs and lows.
“They couldn’t be more proud and they love Jarrod like a son. Danny walked her down the aisle. Jo joked that they should both do it but they’re keeping it traditional.
“Jo made sure Danny’s speech wasn’t outrageous.”
The source added that their gift to Dani was paying for her hen do and her £10,000 Suzanne Neville wedding dress.
Dani and Bowen’s two-year-old twin daughters Summer and Star were flower girls, and her son Santiago, four, and Dani’s brother Arty, 11, were page boys.
Guests reportedly chanted the tongue-in-cheek West Ham anthem, “Bowen’s on fire and he’s sh***ing Dani Dyer,” to the 1997 hit Freed from Desire.
Dani and Bowen welcomed twins, Summer and Star, in May 2023 and last July they announced their engagement.
The Celebrity Gogglebox star also shares a child, Santiago – who she calls Santi, with her ex-Sammy Kimmence.
She had dated Kimmence before winning the fourth season of the Love Island in 2018 with Jack Fincham and rekindled her romance with him after the villa.
Dani later separated from Kimmence, who was jailed for three-and-a-half years in 2021 for defrauding two pensioners out of more than £34,000.
