Dani Dyer has reportedly signed up to appear on this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing after tying the knot with footballer Jarrod Bowen this weekend
Dani Dyer is said to have signed up for Strictly Come Dancing, following her glamorous wedding to footballer Jarrod Bowen over the weekend. The 28-year-old daughter of actor Danny Dyer, shot to fame after winning Love Island in 2018.
Although her relationship with Love Island co-star Jack Fincham didn't last, Dani found her fairy-tale ending with Premier League footballer Jarrod, 28, whom she began dating in 2021. Now, it's rumoured that the TV star will be swapping the aisle for the Strictly dancefloor, with reports suggesting she has signed a pre-contract for the show and is currently negotiating her pay deal.
A Strictly insider told The Sun that BBC bosses are "thrilled" about her participation and are presently "ironing out her fee". They added: "She's bubbly, down-to-earth and straight-talking and producers reckon she'll make an ideal contestant - not to mention the bonus of having Jarrod and dad Danny in the audience supporting her."
Mum-of-three Dani tied the knot with Jarrod in a low-key ceremony, looking stunning in a Suzanne Neville dress that reportedly cost £10,000 and was paid for by her parents, Danny and Jo, reports the Mirror.
Dani's 18-year-old sister, Sunnie, delivered a heartfelt speech at the wedding, which included a poignant reading from a poem featured in Sex and the City. As reported by MailOnline, the touching verse read: "His hello was the end of her endings. Her laugh was their first step down the aisle. His hand would be hers to hold forever. His forever was as simple as her smile. He said she was what was missing. She said instantly she knew. She was a question to be answered. And his answer was 'I do.'".
In a sweet gesture, Dani and Jarrod's two year old twin daughters, Star and Summer, took on the role of flower girls, while Dani's four year old son, Santiago (whose father is her ex-partner Sammy Kimmence), acted as a page boy alongside her 11 year old brother, Arty.
However, the proceedings weren't entirely family-friendly. The wedding reception took a cheeky turn when the guests broke out into a notorious and rather racy football chant, celebrating the couple's union in their own irreverent style.
As the newlyweds made their entrance, they were greeted by the familiar West Ham-themed chant: "Bowen's on fire, and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer," which was started by her famous dad.
Those in attendance at the reception responded and also waved white napkins in the air. The usual lyrics are less family-friendly, but also refer to Jarrod and Dani being an item. Despite a possible hangover today, Dani quickly changed her surname to Dyer-Bowen on Instagram and is thrilled with how her big day went.
Other photos also showed her holding a bag from the celebrations saying 'Wifey For Lifey' making it clear she thinks the commitment and marriage is very much for keeps. The couple have twin daughters, Summer and Star, both one. Dani also has son Santi, four, from a previous relationship.
On her Instagram, Dani said, "The most perfect, special day," alongside a video of herself getting married. A purpose-built glass marquee had been erected in the Buckinghamshire countryside for the event, although the ceremony itself took place outside to make the most of the sunny weather.
After the couple cut a giant white cake, a band could be seen in the background poised to begin, so everyone could get the party started with some dancing.
Strictly Come Dancing and Dani Dyer's representatives have been approached for comment.
