"I know she's doing well....holding her own and all that bollocks...but It's gotta be declared...I proper miss my baby girl now... #firstborn #Dani #loveisland," he wrote to his 1.28 million followers.
The tweet has since had more than 11k retweets and 114k favourites, and lots of Love Island fans are taking it as approval of both Dani's behaviour in the villa, and also her relationship with fellow housemate Jack Fincham.
Danny's approval comes as Jack was previously called to the Beach Hut for an instalment of Love Island: The Weekly Hot List, where he was asked to share his best impressions of the other Islanders – including one of Dani's famous dad.
He quoted his favourite line from Dyer's 2004 film The Football Factory, and said: "One of my favourite Danny Dyer lines is when he's in a film and he goes [changing to a cockney accent], 'You alright girls, want a couple a tequilas?
"'A little cheeky tequila? Shall we get on it?'"
And while the impression was absolutely hilarious and Twitter had a lot of praise for Jack's accuracy, it was Danny himself who had the last word on Instagram.
"On me way to have a couple of cheeky tequilas with some slice of a geezer called Jack. #fathersday#loveisland" he wrote, along with a Photoshopped picture of his head on a skydiver.
Is this his way of showing approval? Does he ship Dani and Jack? Can someone convince him to make a visit into the villa please? SO MANY QUESTIONS.
