She told hosts Josh Pieters and Archie Manners: "It wasn’t for that long. The partner she was with at the time was in one of my dad’s films. Obviously, I was quite young, and she just looked after me.

"I think she’d done Bend It Like Beckham, because I remember sort of looking at her and thinking 'I know who you are'. 

"Then when we got home from the film set my mum was like 'that’s Kiera Knightley!' and I was like 'oh my god'."

Fans of Keira will be pleased to know that she made a good impression and had no airs and graces.

"Dani said: "She was lovely. It was years and years ago, but she was lovely!"

Dani won series four of Love Island with ex-boyfriend Jack Fincham. She went on to have a baby with jailed fraudster Sammy Kimmence before meeting England footballer Jarrod Bowen with whom she has twins.

Her dad is famous film star Danny Dyer, who's currently filming the follow up to hooligan flick The Football Factory.

The cult classic was released two years after Bend It Like Beckham, and while they both have the beautiful game at their core, they are worlds apart.

Hip star Keira has been hard at work in the capital filming new Netflix thriller Black Doves, which also stars Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire.

Keira is set to play Helen, a spy who has been passing along her husband's parliamentary secrets to the organisation she works for, Black Doves.

This went on for a decade before her secret lover was assassinated, sparking fears that character her life might be in danger too.

Ben Whishaw in the role of bodyguard Sam Young is tasked with protecting Helen and finding out who killed Jason.

Things only get more dangerous for both characters as they dive deeper into London's underworld and discover a huge conspiracy which will have consequences for more than just Black Doves.

The writer has joked that he worked on the thriller while "fuelled by cream liquor" over the Christmas holidays in 2022.

Joe Barton continued: "To be now going into production with a cast and crew full of people whose work I admire so much is unbelievably exciting and I couldn’t be more thrilled to get to see this show come to life."
