DANNY Dyer has sparked hope he's going into Love Island after he was spotted at the airport yesterday.
The EastEnders hardman, 40, was snapped going through bag security just days after his wife Jo revealed he's been crying every night over missing their daughter Dani, 22, who is taking part in the hit reality show.

A special "meet-the-parents" Love Island episode is slated for late July - although it was unclear whether Danny's TV commitments would allow him to attend.
The odds have now plunged after Twitter account Love Island Reactions shared the pic of him waiting for his hand luggage in the airport departures lounge late last night.
They captioned it: "Danny Dyer has been reportedly seen at a airport, we hope he’s going into the villa!"
Fans went wild after seeing the photo, with one writing on Twitter: “OMG hope he's going to the villa eeeee!”

Dani and her pen salesman boyfriend Jack are the heavy favourites to win the show and the £50,000 prize which goes with it.
In past series parents have entered the show days before the final and fans have speculated furiously since the first episode about whether the Football Factory and EastEnders actor could make a surprise appearance at the Love Island villa.
However, it was never confirmed if Danny could make it.
Earlier this month he got fans dreaming of a Dyer reunion at the idyllic villa when he posted on Twitter on July 5 that he was bound for Spain.
The 40-year-old tweeted: "I've only gone and made the shortlist for the TV choice awards. If you fancy it whack a vote my way.

Danny Dyer has been spotted in the airport and Love Island fans are losing their sh*t
It looks like the Meet The Parents episode might be coming soon!
Since it was announced that Dani Dyer was heading into the Love Island villa, everyone completely jumped ahead to the Meet The Parents episode.
Would the infamous Danny Dyer turn up? Would he slate Jack? Would he like Jack? Would he slag him over the poster he has on his bedroom wall?
So. Many. Questions.
However, now he has been spotted boarding a plane, and everyone is absolutely losing it:

It's enough to strike fear into the heart of any potential suitor: having to impress Danny Dyer without getting headbutted in the face and losing your lady-love forever.
Unfortunately that's what's likely to happen to Love Island's Jack Fincham after his potential father-in-law Danny was spotted at an airport - prompting speculation the EastEnders star is on his way to the villa.
A snap of Danny standing at an airline desk was shared across social media on Sunday, sending Love Island fans wild as they imagined the initial meeting between 'ardman Danny and stationery salesman Jack.

In the snap, Danny wore a white t-shirt and dark jeans as he stood in front of what looks like a check-in desk at an airport.
With one hand on his hip, Danny looked relaxed and untroubled as he waited patiently in the queue.
Next to him stands a blonde woman, thought to be his wife and mother of his children Joanne Mas, who recently told Caroline Flack on Aftersun she was "so proud" of daughter Dani.

The couple were surrounded by other holidaymakers who didn't seem to realise who was in their midst.
The person who snapped the picture captioned it: "Danny Dyer was right behind us!"
They didn't give any further details about where they were or what Danny and Jo did next, but if they really are on their way to Majorca, it looks extremely likely they'll arrive at the villa this week.
It works out to be perfect timing though, as the Islanders are usually treated to a visit from their parents in the penultimate week of the series.

Last year saw winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies introduce each other to their mums, and they bonded over awkward conversations about the young couple having sex on TV.
There'll be no such chat between Danny and Jack, however, as Dani insisted she wouldn't be Doing Bits on camera - leaving Jack at times frustrated.
His first meeting with Danny will be extra awkward too, after Jack angrily denied having a 'shrine' to the EastEnders star in his bedroom back home.
His ex Ellie Jones told Dani during a heart-to-heart that Jack had a poster up of Danny - but when Dani confronted him, he explained it was just a generic poster of a film he was in.

A Danny Dyer fan has posted irrefutable evidence that he isn't on his way to the Love Island villa - and we're absolutely devastated.
Ever since his daughter Dani entered the ITV2 reality show on day one, fans of the EastEnders hardman have been hoping and praying that she'd make it all the way to the 'Meet the Parents' episode.
And when he was spotted at an airport with his wife Jo Mas on Sunday, people became convinced that that's exactly where he was heading.

The 40-year-old actor, who plays Mick Carter in the BBC One soap, has been watching his daughter's blossoming romance with pen salesman Jack Fincham on the reality show.
And fans have been dying to see the first meeting between the most important blokes in Dani's life.
However, they'll unfortunately have to wait much longer.
A fan has revealed that Danny is actually in America - and not Majorca where the show is filmed.

The lad gave a thumbs up as he posed for a picture with Danny in Disney's Hollywood Studios, telling friends that he'd just met the star on the "Rock n Roller Coaster".
The snap was then shared by fan group loveislandreactions, who wrote: "Danny's in America" alongside a crying emoji.
