“There’s a bit of romance in it” – British actor Danny Dyer opens up on West Ham fans’ X-rated chant about his daughter and Jarrod Bowen
British actor Danny Dyer opened up on West Ham fans' chant about his daughter Dani Dyer and her partner Jarrod Bowen.
While Bowen is a known entity in English football with his accolades for West Ham United and also for being a part of England's national team, Dani is a famed personality on her own merit. She is a former Love Island star and has shot to fame after her appearance on the reality TV show.
Bowen, though, is often subjected by the Hammers' fans with his partner's name as fans have invented an X-rated chant for their player, which goes (via The Sun):
“Bowen’s on fire, and he’s s******g Dani Dyer.”
This chant goes in the tune of Gala's famous song, 'Freed from desire'. However, when West Ham played Luton Town in the Premier League during the recent set of matches, Bowen was subjected to a sick chant from opposition fans as they sang:
“Jarrod Bowen, your girlfriend’s a w***e.”
Bowen, though, had the last laugh as he scored a great header and celebrated by shushing the opposition fans.
Dani's father, Danny Dyer, was asked about the chant from the Hammers' fans aimed at Bowen, which includes his daughter's name as well. He takes no offense to it, as Dyer said (via The Sun):
“I think there’s a bit of romance in it. Think about it, it’s a compliment. They’re saying Bowen is on fire which is unreal. And he’s also s******g Dani Dyer."
He added:
“So if you think about it, they’re saying it can’t get any better. So there’s a compliment in there. Listen, sometimes I start the song off before the other West Ham fans. I’m not even going to lie.”
