EASTENDERS star Danny Dyer’s daughter Dani has signed up for this year’s series of Love Island, The Sun can reveal.
But the hardman actor, 40, who plays Mick Carter on the BBC1 soap, has warned 22-year-old Dani not to have sex on the ITV2 reality show.
Stunning brunette Dani, a barmaid and actress, will get top billing on the fourth series on the BAFTA-award-winning hit, which she signed up to earlier this month.
It comes after she was forced to pull out of the winter version of the show, Survival of the Fittest, in February, after just one day of filming in South Africa when she dislocated her shoulder on a waterslide challenge.
A TV source said: “Danny wasn’t happy about her signing up to do Love Island because he doesn’t want her have sex on-screen.
“He thinks it could damage her reputation in years to come. No father wants to see their daughter romping on national TV.
“He’s imposed a strict no-bonking ban as he doesn’t want her to do anything she regrets. He doesn’t even want her to snog anyone.”
Speaking earlier this year, ahead of her Survival Of The Fittest debut, Dani admitted that her dad would have disowned her if she got steamy between the sheets with any of the contestants.
She said: “Oh my god, I would never have sex on telly.
“He has already given me a warning to behave. I was like, ‘I will’.
“He is massively protective. I haven’t had many boyfriends so he has had it quite easy until now.”
She added: “I’ll even have to resist kissing and wait until I get out.”
Football Factor actor Danny, who also has two other children with wife Jo Mas, 40, Sunnie, 11, and four-year-old Arty, has a tight relationship with his oldest daughter.

Dani said: “Me and my dad are really close, he’s like my best mate. It’s nice, I’m glad I’ve got that.
The show, which is hosted by Caroline Flack, 38, and filmed in Majorca, starts next month.
A spokesman for ITV declined to comment.
