Love Island 2018 winners Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham left fans devastated earlier this week when they announced their break-up, only four months after leaving the villa.
But while the rest of the nation are in mourning, Dani’s dad Danny Dyer is reportedly ‘secretly overjoyed’ with the shock split after ‘warning’ his daughter about the impact that Jack Fincham could have on her career.
The couple were inundated with work offers after winning Love Island and while Dani embraced every opportunity, Jack is said to have struggled.
“Jack found it harder. [Dani's] dad Danny and her family warned her early on that they didn't think sticking by Jack was the best idea,” a source told The Sun.
They added: “Of course Jack is a lovely lad and they got on, but Dani's family live in the public eye and they know how important it is to work hard and stay out of trouble.

“It got to a point where it was clearly over and there was no turning back. Dani’s family are overjoyed. Of course they like Jack but this is Dani’s time to shine.”
As if the split wasn’t heartbreaking enough, Jack opened up about his Christmas plans with Dani just days before the pair announced they had gone separate ways.
Asked if he was prepared for his first Christmas with Dani, Jack told heat: "Not really. I want to be more prepared; I want to make the flat more Christmassy. We put our tree up, though. It's a good start.”
Asked if the pair are spending Christmas together, Jack said: "Yeah, we are. So I'm basically spending it at my house with my family, then she's coming round in the evening and I'm going to her's on Boxing Day. Nice and split."
