He appeared clueless to his villa love interest’s famous father in Monday night’s launch show.
But it seems Jack Fincham was well aware of Dani Dyer’s soap star heritage before jetting to Mallorca, after spending months ‘liking’ her social media snaps.
Eagle-eyed fans – who were already sceptical of Jack’s unknowing reaction – noticed the stationery salesman had pressed the like button on plenty of Dani’s Instagram snaps, including one featuring her actor father Danny Dyer himself.

In snaps dating as far back as April, Jack appeared to have pressed the like button on several of Dani’s posts, although these ‘likes’ have now been deleted.
One picture shows Dani posing up a storm with father Danny and as they all sport Stranger Things t-shirt, while another shows her flaunting her washboard abs in skimpy striped co-ords.
The likes will seem surprising to many fans after Jack appeared to have no idea who Dani’s father was upon entering villa, although some Love Island viewers did not buy his reaction.

One viewer wrote: ‘When Jack found out about Dani’s dad it’s like purr to the lease. He knew. Adam knows. They all know. Jack and Adam definitely have an agenda there but maybe she’ll learn not the bring that up so early.’
Another added: ‘Jack knows mate’ while a third tweeted: ‘Jack pretending he didn’t know Dani was Danny Dyer’s daughter’ followed a faux shock GIF.
Dani squeezed her claim to fame in their conversation to try and impress Jack as the pair grow increasingly close already.
She told Jack: ‘My dad… Let’s just get it out the way. My dad’s Danny Dyer.’
Not impressed: Before this revelation, many Love Island viewers already didn’t believe Jack’s claims that he didn’t know who Dani’s dad was, taking to Twitter to express their views
The EastEnders actor’s daughter, who is on the lookout for love not lust, said she had no choice to mention her actor father as she claimed it would come out eventually.
‘I had to bring up my dad, I knew sooner or later that I would mention who my dad was. And it was actually a really nice reaction,’ she added.
‘Usually boys get a little… they start getting all “gangster” and they start quoting films. He didn’t quote one quote and I thought “thank God for that”.’
Luckily for Dani, her famous roots certainly made an impression on the stationery sales manager as Jack gushed how much he loved the EastEnders actor, despite the social media snaps hinting he secretly knew of Dani’s father’s identity already.
Reflecting on their date, he said: ‘When Dani told me that her dad’s Danny Dyer, I just thought “what?” I’m not going to lie to you, I love him as an actor.’
