Danny Dyer's very brutal advice to pregnant daughter Dani for dealing with online trolls

Danny Dyer has shared the very candid - and hilarious - advice he tells his kids when it comes to online trolling.

The former EastEnders actor, 45, admits he's 'frightened' about the level of fame daughter Dani Dyer, 26, has achieved since appearing on Love Island in 2018, as the pregnant mum-of-one prepares to welcome twins into the world later this year.

Dad-of-three Danny says he found fame intoxicating having 'come from f*** all' and muses how stars have to learn to 'sit with' being in the spotlight thanks to their careers.

He confesses he worries about his eldest child Dani, now a star in her own right and often reminds the reality TV star to stop scrolling through hateful comments shared online.

"It frightens the life out of me, because I know what it brings," Danny admits when discussing his offspring living life in the limelight.

The former soap star continues to explain to The Times how he hopes he has helped Dani navigate fame but she still can't resist reading nasty comments about herself on social media.

Dad Danny has told the pregnant star: "It’s like looking into the arsehole of the Devil. If the Devil’s on all fours, don’t look."

Elsewhere in the candid interview, Danny shares how he checked into psychiatric unit six years ago, after making 'serious errors' in life, and reveals how his wife Joanne reacted to his past cheating scandals.

The Football Factory actor also looks back on his working class upbringing and muses how it differs from his 'very privileged kids' and their start in life.

Danny and wife Joanne share three children and one grandchild together; Love Island star Dani, Sunnie and Arty and grandson Santiago - with two more on the way soon.

"I’ve got very privileged kids now. They have no concept," the grandad-of-one muses.

"I took them round my old stomping ground recently and my son [Arty, 9] freaked out at where I used to live. They were petrified."

He adds how his daughter Sunnie, 15, pronounces the 't' in 'water', which he finds disconcerting and admits he doesn't know where he stands class-wise, due to things like wife Jo buying scented toilet paper.

Danny's interview comes as daughter Dani prepares to give birth to twins later this year.

Dani, who has been dating West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen since 2021, is already mum to son Santiago, two, with former partner Sammy Kimmence.

At the start of this month, the pregnant star shared the gender of her unborn identical twins - two girls - with fans after announcing her pregnancy last month.
