Love Island star Dani Dyer turned 25 in the sunshine after jetting off with son Santiago for some much needed down time.
She has been sharing snaps of her sun-soaked break on social media sporting a stunning new bikini, glass of fizz in hand, on her birthday before heading to the pool on Sunday.
Her EastEnders star dad Danny of course remembered his little girl’s special day and shared a sweet message on Instagram, jokingly calling her a ‘chav’.
The actor posted a photo of himself loving kissing his daughter’s head as they celebrated her birthday, with pink and orange balloons strewn around the room.
The smiling TV star held up a drink with her name on it (literally) and wore a dark navy dress, while Danny was laidback in a white T-shirt and green shorts.
He wrote in the picture caption: ‘Happy Birthday to my day one @danidyerxx

‘Can’t believe I’ve got a 25 year old chav…me and you against the world baby…we thrive when we face adversity…there is no word in that f**king dictionary to explain how much I love you. Thank you for making me a father.’
The young mum got away from it all during a turbulent time, when her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, the father of Santiago, was jailed for 42 months for defrauding two pensioners out of more than £34,000.
Danny and Dani have been flew off for their idyllic family holiday earlier this month and have been busy doing nothing arund the pool.
The soap star was ever the doting granddad as he held baby Santiago, born in January, in one sweet image from their break.
It comes as the reality TV star, who won Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018, focuses on her family since Sammy was sentenced.

She has apparently not come to a firm decision about their relationship yet with a source telling Metro.co.uk she is ‘totally overwhelmed’ by what has happened.
‘The little dream family she thought she had has been smashed apart and she is now trying to work out how best to pick up the pieces,’ they said.

‘All she knows is that her baby boy Santiago is the only thing that matters now and she is working out how best to look after him as a single parent.’
Her family meanwhile are rallying around Dani and have vowed to help her raise her son.
