Danny will be taking on a presenting role with Netflix, hosting a quiz show called CHEAT, where contestants will “literally cheat” their way to winning. Danny and daughter Dani host a Spotify podcast called Sorted with the Dyers. In one episode, they discussed how former Love Island star Dani was forced to become a single parent after the father of her child, Sammy Kimmence, was sentenced to jail.
He was put behind bars for 42 months for scamming two elderly victims out of £34,000. This left Dani, who split with Sammy after his sentencing, to raise their son alone. In the podcast, the duo reflected on that period of time which forced Dani to have to love her own company.
She said: “When Santi's in bed, that's my time to do my own things and just chill out. It doesn't mean you don't want to spend time with someone. “It just means you've enjoyed spending time by yourself." Her doting dad Danny continued: “You've had to, really haven't you? “Because you were put in a predicament, it wasn't the plan for you.
