Dani Dyer has recently shared her concerns regarding her fiancé Jarrod Bowen's upcoming stag do, while her father, Danny Dyer, playfully joked that the event would feature strippers. The former reality star is gearing up for her wedding to West Ham footballer Bowen, with the ceremony planned for the end of March 2025.
In a lively discussion on their podcast, Live And Let Dyers, the father-daughter duo clashed over the stag party plans as the wedding day approaches. Dani, 28, detailed their wedding schedule, saying, "I literally get back from my Hen on the Monday and then I get married on the Saturday." Meanwhile, Jarrod is scheduled to return from his own stag on Thursday before their wedding.
As the wedding plans heat up, Danny couldn't help but cheerfully proclaim, "Strippers!" This cheeky comment made Dani visibly cringe, leading to her protest, "No, you're not." She recounted an experience from a previous hen party that included a "butler in the buff," which led to Danny quipping about sexism: "It's sexism this, this is sexism at its height, ladies and gentlemen."
Dani passionately asserted her stance against the idea of strippers attending the stag do, highlighting the differences in expectations for men and women in such scenarios. "Women are funny, a man standing there, we're all taking the p, all doing shots, he's pouring us champagne. If a woman stands there with her ts out, men aren't gonna sit there and draw t*s. It's so different," she stated.
The banter continued, with Danny humorously challenging his daughter's perspective, saying, "Okay so this is fine because you're a woman but God forbid a group of men, I know it seems a bit more aggressive and a bit more odd, have a stripper who's a woman. Would you rather we had a butler in the buff?" Dani maintained that the dynamics between men and women in these situations vary greatly, supporting her point with her experience during the hen do.
During the entertaining podcast segment, Dani asserted, "Would I want him to have a stripper? Absolutely not; I wouldn't like it," reflecting her apprehensions and expectations for both her and Jarrod's pre-wedding activities. Their light-hearted yet revealing exchange also showcases how societal attitudes toward these celebrations can differ based on gender.
Earlier this month, Danny appeared on Heart Radio, speaking candidly about his emotions surrounding the wedding. He confessed, “Oh, I’ll be sobbing and snotting everywhere,” admitting the prospect of giving away his daughter is an emotional one. He also expressed discomfort with the tradition of 'giving your daughters away,' remarking there’s “something odd” about it.
The proud father of three described his daughter’s future husband, Jarrod Bowen, as an “incredible” man, saying, “If you’re going to give your daughter away, give her away to the West Ham captain,” he joked, highlighting how proud he is of his daughter’s choice.
Dani and Jarrod's relationship dates back to 2021, and they share twin daughters, Summer and Star, along with Dani's son Santiago from a previous relationship. The couple is preparing for what has been described as the “party of the year,” with Dani running around making wedding arrangements.
Reflecting on her journey, Dani gained public attention when she starred on Love Island in 2018, where she fell in love with Jack Fincham, although they split the following year. In the years since, she has also welcomed her younger sister Sunnie and brother Arty into her family.
As the wedding day draws near, both Dani and Danny have expressed excitement and emotional apprehension, predicting a day full of tears and joy. While they navigate the humorous dynamics of wedding planning, the Dyer family continues to bond over the shared experiences leading up to the momentous day.
The union between Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen symbolizes not just the merging of two lives but also showcases the familial love and support around them as they embark on this new chapter together.
