Dani Dyer has rubbished claims she's a nepo baby who's received special treatment because she's the daughter of Rivals and EastEnders actor Danny Dyer.

The reality favourite, 29, appeared on Katherine Ryan's podcast What's My Age Again? And revealed she gets 'negative comments' about being a nepo baby as well about her Essex accent and sounding 'common'

Dani explained: "I've always had it for say my voice, people comment on common and voice and I might not pronounce my words probably, but I have got better with my 'ts'...

"I get the nepo baby stuff, I get a lot of that quite a lot of the time.

"It's like, 'Oh yeah you're only famous because of your dad' and all that stuff.

"But I would have wanted to do Love Island regardless. So I think it's more of a throw away comment."

Asked if she believes she would have been chosen if it wasn't for Danny, she confessed: "I don't know because obviously going back now I realise that yearly they like to have someone...you know, they had Tommy Fury didn't they, and they had Marcel [Somerville]....and they had Belle Hassan and her father is Tamer.

"And so I do kind of get that they like to have that so I don't know if I would have been chosen or not, it would be good to have a see if we could reverse time."

Dani, who's married to West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, revealed she deals with haters by refusing to engage with it, and shared: "It's just not reading things like Twitter, I remember completely deleting Twitter and Facebook - Because Facebook, they're are mean on Facebook aren't they?"

However, she said her dad is "obsessed" with reading the negative comments and often dwells on it, the mum-of-three added: "My dad at the minute is really obsessed with looking at the Facebook comments and I am like, 'stop it'.

"He rings me up and he's like, 'this one's saying' and I am like, 'you haven't even got Facebook how are you getting these links?'"

Although, growing up her friends loved her famous dad, Dani laughed: "A lot of the girls just fancied my dad, they really fancied him and they'd be like, 'oh you're dad is so fit' and I'd be like, 'thank you', I didn't really know how to respond to that."
