But her appearance on the show sparked some concerns from her father, EastEnders' star Danny Dyer.
Talking together on their podcast, Sorted With The Dyers, Danny, 44, opened up about his concerns ahead of Dani going on Love Island UK.
It started when Dani revealed why she wouldn't want her son Santi — who she welcomed in January this year — to ever go on the show.
"I know it sounds weird, and I don't want to like slag off, but like I was very lucky who I coupled up with," Dani said.

"Because when I look at all the Love Island boys that go in there, you've got to be a certain category of a man, you've got to be quite egotistical. I don't know, I wouldn't want Santi to go on Love Island."
Danny admitted that he had similar concerns when Dani was considering going on Love Island UK herself.
"There you go, now you're starting to understand my fears and understand why I was like 'No, don't do it'," he told her.
"You didn't agree with it, you were fuming!" Dani said. "You literally got up and had to go into the garden. But I get it now."
Dani explained she "wouldn't change a thing" about her decision to go on the show, adding that she's had "ups and downs" in the media since.
"It's made me who I am. But at the same time, if Santi came to me and said, 'Mum, I want to go on Love Island', I would think, 'Aw babe, please don't'."
Considering that Santi isn't even one yet, that decision is a very long way away.
