Love Island viewers will be heartbroken to hear that Danny Dyer won't be sizing up Jack Fincham in the villa.
Usually, the parents of each of the Islanders meet their son or daughter's partner at the end of the series.
Fans believed that the EastEnders star would be appearing in the villa and meet Jack.
Sadly, however, it has been revealed that Danny won't be able to take part in the meet-the-parents episode due to a commitments clash.

Currently, Dani and boyfriend Jack are the big favourites to win the show and are the only original couple from the first episode still remaining.
A source told The Sun : "Danny had booked time off work long before his daughter Dani had any inkling she would be going on Love Island .
“All his time off the soap had to be pre-booked with EastEnders to stop all the cast being off work at the same time."
However, they added that there was "still a chance" he could do a u-turn in a bid to support Dani.

This came after Jack tried to do an impression of the actor .
