Danny Dyer and Dani Dyer

Rewind back to the beginning of June and EastEnders actor Danny Dyer was by far the most famous member of his family. However, after his daughter Dani Dyer appeared on this year's Love Island and stole the hearts of the nation with her romance with Jack Fincham, the 22-year-old has taken over her famous dad in the popularity stakes.

And as Dani celebrated her 22nd birthday yesterday (8th August) a fan account of the Dyer family shared the CUTEST throwback photo featuring Dani, her dad Danny, and her mum Joanne.

They all look so young! 😍

EastEnders hard-man Danny and his wife Joanne welcomed Dani into the world when they were just 18-years-old, back in 1996.

Speaking to the Daily Star when Dani was in the Love Island villa, Danny said, "As much as I love Dani, and of course I'm overjoyed we had her, I would advise her to have children later on in life. You should live your life first. There are benefits to having kids early, but you lose a lot of your own childhood and self-discovery."

After getting together at a young age, Danny and Joanne endured an on/off relationship for a number of years, until Joanne popped the question to the actor on Valentine’s Day in 2015.

The couple, who share two other children, 11-year-old Sunnie and five-year-old Arty, later married in September 2012.

Despite missing their daughter's Love Island victory due to being on a family holiday in Florida, Danny and Joanne finally got the chance to meet Dani's new boyfriend Jack Fincham last night.

Hosting a family gathering to celebrate Dani's 22nd birthday, Jack shared a number of photos from the evening, along with a super cute message to Dani. He wrote, 'Lovely evening round Dan’s for her bday , happy birthday beautiful I hope you have had a lovely day love you loads xxx @danidyerxx'. [sic]

We hope Danny liked Jack! 🙈

Jack Fincham - then and now

Mr Colgate looks completely different in this old photo of him in the boxing ring. The self-proclaimed pen salesman has definitely found himself (and a self-tan mitt) since then and is now giving use all the feels with almost-girlfriend Dani Dyer.
