They don't tell you about the incredible mum quilt!

DANI DYER has revealed that since the birth of her identical twin girls she has struggled with "incredible mum guilt", juggling all three of her children's needs.

The 27-year-old gave birth last May to Summer and Star, who she shares with West Ham United footballer boyfriend Jarrod Bowen. She also has three-year-old Santiago, who she calls Santi, with ex Sammy Kimmence.

"There are definitely moments where I've just not left the house in days," says Dani, who won Love Island with Jack Fincham in 2018.

"Sometimes I struggle with trying to make sure everyone's happy. I'm like, I've not taken Santi out in days - I feel so guilty if I've not taken him out to have a little bit of a run around," she admits.

"He's been such an amazing brother and sometimes you just want to do more for him. That mum guilt thing of, am I doing enough? They don't tell you that in the book you're going to get this incredible mum guilt!" Dani, who is the daughter of EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, says it was "a massive jump" from one child to three, and when she and Jarrod were first told they were expecting twins, they assumed the sonographer had made a mistake.

"I didn't believe the lady so much so that I booked another scan. It was a massive shock, I never, ever thought I would ever in my life have twins. We laughed all day, out of nerves.
