Dani Dyer jokes son, 14 months, is 'more intelligent than her'

Dani Dyer has joked her 14-month-old son is "more intelligent" than her after he locked her out of her washing machine.

The former 'Love Island' winner had to seek help from a neighbour after Santiago - who she shares with her ex-partner Sammy Kimmence, who was jailed for three-and-a-half years in July for scamming two pensioners out of almost £34,000 - put the child lock on her device.

She said: "So my child is a little bit more intelligent than I am.

"He literally the other day, child-locked my washing machine and I don’t even know how you can do that. I was honestly raging.

"And I’m pulling all the manuals out.

"I had to knock on my neighbour’s door and went, 'Babes, I can’t do a wash'. And she come in and she fixed it for me."

Dani also revealed Santi has "just started to walk".

She is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I feel like from zero to one has been such a transition for me and like this is a whole new ball game now."

Dani recently admitted she "struggled" when her son was first born, because she couldn't help but compare herself to other mums.

The star - who is the daughter of ‘EastEnders’ actor Danny Dyer - said: "I honestly wasn't prepared for the rush of hormones. It was a little bit hard for me at the beginning. I really did struggle,

"Are you doing 'the parent thing' right? Is everyone judging how you're coping? Is the life you knew pre-baby gone forever? How can you meet other parents in the same situation?’

"I remember when Santi was born, all I did was compare, and I always used to think, 'Why can't I breastfeed?' I really, really struggled with that. And I put so much pressure on myself.

"I shouldn't have compared so much. I shouldn't have looked online. I should have just enjoyed my baby bubble and just gone with it."
