They won £50,000 – and became the King and Queen of Love Island – just a few weeks ago.

And Dani Dyer has revealed that their newfound fame hasn’t changed her boyfriend, Jack Fincham, one bit.

The 22-year-old admitted that following their stint in the Love Island villa, Jack had initially planned to go back to selling stationery – but her dad warned him that wouldn’t be possible.

She told The Times: 

“When he came out, he was saying to my dad, ‘I’m going to have a week off work, I reckon, and then I’ll go back to selling pens.’

“And my dad was like, ‘No, Jack, it’s not going to work like that, mate. You’re going to have a different life now.’

“Jack didn’t realise. He genuinely said, ‘Dan, I think I’ll have a week off,’ and then he said, ‘Well, how about I go back a couple of days a week then?’

“And I was like, ‘Jaaaack!!!!’ It’s what I love about him. He’s such a genuine boy.”

The former barmaid explained how she and Jack make a conscious effort to switch off their phones to avoid the pressure of regularly posting Instagram updates for fans – but sometimes that ends up backfiring.

She continued:

“It’s hard because if we don’t spend a couple of days together it’s, ‘They’ve split up! Why aren’t we seeing them?’

“And so you feel like you owe [the public], you feel like you need to constantly upload and say what you are doing.”

Dani also revealed what she loves about her boyfriend, who she met on the popular ITV2 series.

She said:

“Jack does makes me belly laugh. I love his sense of humour. It’s the same as my dad’s.

“The facial expressions are similar, the movements, the tone. They always say you end up with someone similar to your dad and Jack reminds me of him. It’s really weird.”
