Having previously worked as an actor, it was when Dani joined ITV2’s Love Island in 2018 that she shot into the public consciousness, winning the series with over 80% of the vote. 

In February 2019, she climbed Kilimanjaro with a team of celebrities including presenters Dan Walker and Anita Rani, and Little Mix members Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall, raising £2m for Comic Relief. Dani also visited the charity’s projects in Sierra Leone, learning about educational and empowering courses for women and girls to stand up against FGM. 

April 2019 saw the release of her debut book ‘What Would Dani Do?’, a guide for young women including many autobiographical anecdotes. The book was an instant success and spent three weeks in the Sunday Times Bestsellers list, reaching number 4. This year she also began her presenting career, as she took over hosting duties on MTV’s True Love Or True Lies?. 

In January 2021, she gave birth to her first child, Santiago and in May 2023 she welcomed her identical twin girls Summer and Star. Together they have worked with children’s brands including My Babiie, Eucerin, Hello Fresh and Primark Baby. 

Dani is in demand for brand work and has had successful collaborations with Girls On Film  for Matalan, In The Style, Surf and NYX amongst many others.
