EastEnders Danny Dyer shares sweet snap with daughter Dani’s newborn Santiago
EASTENDERS star Danny Dyer shared his first snap with his daughter Dani's adorable newborn baby Santiago.
The 43-year-old actor enjoyed some quality time with his grandson as they shared a sweet moment.
The TV star rested the cute tot on his lap as they relaxed on the sofa together.
Santiago, wearing an adorable white and grey elephant themed baby grow, starred at his Grandad in amazement.
Danny captioned the sweet snap: "This grandson of mine...."
Love Island star, Dani, commented underneath the pic: "He loves you so much 💗💗💗."
A number of fans rushed to show their appreciation, with one writing: "This is beautiful. So happy for you all with your new addition to the family."
Another gushed: "He is beautiful, my heart 😢. Enjoy every second of it Grandad 💙💙."
A third joked: "How can you possibly make Danny Dyer look even more attractive? Place a newborn baby on his lap🤣 jokes aside, congratulations, your grandson is just perfect x"
Dani gave birth to her first child last month with boyfriend Sammy Kimmence.
The EastEnders star celebrated becoming a grandad at 42 with a gushing tribute to Dani on Instagram.
The amazed actor, who plays Mick Carter in EastEnders, shared: "So my baby had a baby. F**k me we needed some joy this year.
"So proud of you Dani cannot wait to meet the little beaut."
His photo racked up thousands of likes within minutes, with former EastEnders co-star Tilly Keeper and actor Davood Ghadami both writing "congratulations!" beneath the post.
Danny admitted last month that he was upset at not being able to meet the baby in hospital after Dani gives birth.
He said on his podcast: "I don’t think I’m allowed to see my own grandchild. That is very upsetting."
He also joked that becoming a grandad is the "second best thing to happen that week" after West Ham made it into the top four.
The 24-year-old star opened up about the realities of motherhood explaining that she's having severe postpartum sweating.
“Apparently it’s so normal, you just sweat. I wake up and there is a puddle. It’s really bad.
“What upsets me, is Santi obviously with the breastfeeding he is under my armpit and I think my poor son.
"It is common, I think it's because of the hormones."
Her dad added: "So he thinks your natural smell is of someone that doesn't wash.
"You've got to be careful because when you put a bit of perfume on, he won't want to go near you. He'll go who's this f***ing stranger."
Dani also revealed that she is really 'enjoying' being a new mum after she spent the first few days feeling overwhelmed.
She added: "I’m getting there now, don’t get me wrong. There are days when I haven’t figured it out, I haven’t showered all day.
