LOOK away now Dani! While the pregnant Love Island star was at home, her man hit the town for a meal of posh nosh and a taxi full of scantily clad ladies.

Sammy, 24, looked like he didn’t want to be spotted as he was seen leaving MNKY HSE on Thursday evening, keeping his head down in the back of the cab.

Sammy also appeared to be flouting Tier 2 lockdown rules by going out with people who aren't from his household.

He currently lives with Dani - and her pregnancy makes her high risk if she were to catch deadly coronavirus.

Dani, 24, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sammy, who she reunited with after Love Island, and the couple are due to become parents in January 2021.

While the Love Island star was at home with her feet up, Sammy was spotted leaving swanky Mayfair restaurant MNKY HSE - apparently breaching coronavirus rules as he did so.

We're sure Dani's protective dad, actor Danny Dyer, will have something to say to the stockbroker, who appeared to want to keep a low profile in the back of the car.

Sammy was joined by another male who sat next to him and three women who were packed into the seat opposite them, apparently ignoring social distancing. 

London is currently in Tier 2, which means people from different households are banned from mixing inside, including in pubs and restaurants - unless they are having a business meeting.

And it is against the law not to wear a face covering in a taxi - which Sammy and his companions were not wearing at the time they were photographed.

Being pregnant, Dani will have been deemed to be at a heightened risk of coronavirus.

Sammy had been dining at the posh Latin American restaurant, which has established itself as a Mayfair hotspot for those wanting to “eat, drink and play”.

A celebrity favourite, it offers a mix of high quality, contemporary Latin American cuisine and late night DJ sets.

Dani and Sammy split in March after he was accused of scamming the men out of £34,000 by posing as a financial investor, but they rekindled their relationship and in July she announced she was expecting.

While the couple are excitedly anticipating the arrival of their first baby, they face a stressful time ahead after discovering Sammy will stand trial at Portsmouth Crown Court in April next year – just weeks after their baby is due.

A source close to the family told The Sun Online: “Dani is upset, worried, terrified. Without a court date they kind of pushed this all to the back of their minds - now it is very real.

“She’s expecting a child with a bloke who could go to prison. Her baby is due at the end of January and then Sammy will up in court a few weeks later.

“Those first few weeks of having a newborn baby are so special but it will also be the countdown to his trial.”

Sammy was originally due to stand trial in June after pleading not guilty to the charges but the case was postponed because of Covid.

Sammy is accused of conning two victims - aged 90 and 80 - who were clients at a legitimate investment company where he previously worked.

He allegedly took the clients on when the business stopped operating, falsely claiming he was authorised to provide financial services.
