The 24-year-old, who rose to fame on the TV dating show in 2018, and is also the daughter of EastEnders star Danny Dyer, shared her happy news on Instagram after revealing she was pregnant in July.

Sharing pictures of her and boyfriend Sammy Kimmence with their newborn son at London’s private Portland Hospital, she said she is “completely in love”.

The little boy was born on Saturday, weighing 7lb.

“We are in a complete baby bubble and enjoying every moment, can not believe he is ours, completely in love and so grateful to be his mummy,” Dyer wrote.

“Sending all my love to all the other mommas to be out there in lockdown, the best experience ever will never forget this day.”

Proud grandfather Danny Dyer also shared the news in typical Danny Dyer style, writing on Instagram: “So my baby had a baby. F*** me we needed some joy this year. So proud of you @danidyerxx cannot wait to meet the little beaut.”

Dyer has become a TV star since winning Love Island with Jack Fincham, who she coupled up with at the start of the fourth series nearly three years ago.

However, outside the famous villa the pair split up after six months together, with Dyer saying they had realised it wasn’t “meant to be”.

Fincham revealed his own baby news in a surprise announcement in January 2020, confirming he had become a father to daughter, Blossom.

He said at the time that while he was not in a relationship with the baby’s mother, she was a “great friend”.
