Actor Danny Dyer has sparked outrage after he was caught on camera singing an X-rated chant about his daughter Dani during a football match between West Ham and Leeds.
The former EastEnders star, 48, attended the match with his grandson, Santiago, 5, where he proudly joined in with the crowd singing a crude chant that referenced Dani and her footballer husband, Jarrod Bowen.
The chant — “Bowen’s on fire, and he’s [bleep]ing Dani Dyer” — has caused widespread backlash, with many fans taking to social media to express their disgust at Danny’s behavior.
The moment, captured on video, quickly went viral and has left Dani, 29, deeply embarrassed. Sources close to Dani revealed to The Sun that she was mortified by her father’s actions. “Dani is really embarrassed about the whole thing,” they said. “Her dad Danny is a huge West Ham fan, and she hates the idea that he has to hear about her personal life while he’s watching the games.”
While Dani understands that her husband Jarrod will receive some banter from fans, the chant, which crossed personal boundaries, was too much for her to bear.
Public Outcry
The video of Danny singing the chant has sparked a wave of condemnation online. Fans and followers were quick to criticize his disrespectful behavior, with one user writing on social media, “Weird how he’s singing about someone [bleep]ing his own daughter.”
Others were equally appalled, with comments such as: “What a [bleep],” “Cringe,” and “This is beyond degenerate.”

One user even expressed: “No shame in English culture anymore. None.” Another wrote, “What a disgusting person talking about his own daughter like this.”
As the video continues to circulate, the backlash against Danny Dyer grows. His actions have raised questions about the line between football fandom and family respect, with many questioning how much is too much when it comes to the banter in stadiums.
Meanwhile, Dani, who was also at the match, can be seen in other footage, looking visibly uncomfortable as her father joined in with the chant.
This incident has left fans wondering whether Danny Dyer’s behavior crosses the line from harmless fun to inappropriate disrespect.
