Love Island's Dani Dyer teases new project with baby - but Sammy nowhere to be seen

Dani Dyer has given fans the first glimpse of her exciting new work project - which looks set to include her adorable son Santiago.

Since her Love Island 2018 win, Dani is well used to appearing in front of camera after making money as a celebrity influencer.

However, this time the mum appeared to have signed her baby boy up for the job too as the pair were seen filming some scenes together at their Essex home.

Taking to Instagram, Dani shared a snapshot of their day as she held Santiago in her arms for their close-up.

Dani looked stunning as she went almost makeup-free in the photo while beaming next to her boy.

While Dani's latest project appears to be a family affair, she has not been pictured on Instagram with her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, Santiago's dad, since the beginning of April.

Later that month, Sammy, 25, pleaded guilty to scamming £34,000 from two pensioners by posing as a financial investor.

A representative for Dani told The Sun after the hearing that she and Sammy were "still together" when asked if she was continuing to support her man following his last-minute plea change in court.

It is not suggested that Dani was involved or knew anything about her partner's wrongdoing.

The judge at Portsmouth Crown Court warned Sammy his offences were so serious he could be sent to jail when he is sentenced on June 11.

Weeks after the court case it was announced that Dani had bagged a starring role on BBC One soap EastEnders, alongside her dad Danny Dyer.

Dani will play a taxi driver in the show who takes her real life father, who plays Mick Carter, for a ride.

A TV insider told The Sun: “Soap fans are going to be thrilled to see father and daughter acting opposite each other.

“Unlike some other celebrities who come on the show, she won’t be playing herself, she will be a cabbie who picks up Mick in the street.

“But it’s only a small role and not one which bosses are planning on keeping as an ongoing character.”
