Dani Dyer ‘is set to join dad Danny on EastEnders next month and will make a cameo as a TAXI DRIVER’

Dani Dyer is reportedly joining her father Danny on EastEnders next month.

According to reports on Wednesday, the former Love Island star, 24, will make a cameo appearance as a taxi driver who picks up Danny’s character Mick Carter. 

It is said their scenes were filmed three weeks ago, and Dani’s cabbie will only be making the one appearance on the soap.

Like father, like daughter: Dani Dyer ‘is set to join dad Danny on EastEnders next month and will make a cameo as a TAXI DRIVER’, it was reported on Wednesday

A source speaking to The Sun said: ‘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.’

MailOnline has contacted Dani and Danny’s representatives as well as EastEnders spokespeople for further comment.

The father-and-daughter duo have previously appeared on screen together in his films Vendetta, Run For Your Wife, Doghouse and The Other Half. 

Dani previously auditioned for a role on EastEnders, but didn’t land the part and instead joined Love Island where she was crowned champion alongside ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. 

In 2018, she said of the audition: ‘They wouldn’t let me in it. I think it’s because my dad is already on it, so if I went on it, there would be a massive outrage.’

Meanwhile, Harry Redknapp confirmed last week he will have a role on upcoming episodes of the soap, and official pictures of him on set were released on Tuesday. 

In the pictures, Harry posed next to the sign for the show’s famous Albert Square and also stands with his hands in his pockets in front of the Queen Vic pub. 

He has joined the soap as a friend of Danny’s character Queen Vic landlord Mick, and it has been claimed the pair are already ‘inseparable’.

Harry was seen on his way to BBC’s Elstree studios last week to start shooting – with the scenes set to air during the Euros, which air from June-July 2021.  

‘It’s no secret that I’ve wanted to be in EastEnders so I’m over the moon to be making a special cameo this summer’, Harry said. ‘With a nod to the Euros, it’s a lovely fit and, as a proper east Londoner, it’s been so much fun.

He added that Sandra, his wife of more than 50 years, is a ‘huge fan’ of the soap, ‘so it’s a real special moment for the whole family’.    

Harry told The Sun: ‘I’ve always wanted to have a drink in the Queen Vic. Danny Dyer was terrific to work with.’

It was claimed that Harry was ‘cheered’ by crew as he arrived on the set for the first time as he laughed and joked with Danny.

The pair are both from east London and reportedly bonded over their love of West Ham football club which Harry played for in the 60s and managed in the 90s.
