Love Island viewers said they were “absolutely howling” as Dani Dyer’s boyfriend Jack Fincham finally met her dad.
EastEnders star Danny Dyer could not be at the villa in person as family members visited the contestants, but chatted to his daughter and her boyfriend via FaceTime.
Dyer told Jack: “Listen, I approve of you mate. I think you’re absolutely bang on. I weren’t at first, I thought ‘oh here we go’.”
He also said to the stationery salesman: “Do you know what Jack, listen. Proper geezer, gotta say. I’ll tell you what I love about you, I love the fact you got a little Derby.
“You got so much charisma. Takes a brave man to bowl into that gaff, them all ‘abbed up’, proper geezer. Honestly mate, we’re so over the moon.”
IT'S OFFICIAL: Jack has got the seal of approval from @MrDDyer! #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/q3vXTM8QOH
