Dani Dyer was left stunned after discovering her coil had gone "missing" in her body.
The reality star went on to joke that she could have ended up with four children after going for a routine check up. Dani, 27, documented the incident with her online followers and explained how she required surgery to remove the contraceptive device from her body.
The coil is often inserted into the womb through an opening in the individual's vagina and cervix, before allowing the arms of the coil to open out. But Dani's had "completely dislodged and moved", meaning she would require medical assistance to remove it from her uterus.
Taking to Instagram in view of her 3.8 million followers, the daughter of actor Danny Dyer said: "So long story cut short because I do like to ramble. I had to have a couple of appointments today for a nurse to check my Mirena coil. I've not really been getting on with it and I thought let's just go and get it checked and see what's going on.
"It's gone missing. It's completely dislodged and moved. He said what's happened is so rare so I don't want to scare anyone but I've got to have key hole surgery because of where it is embedded. It's nothing major but I just can't believe what has happened. Imagine, I could have ended up with a fourth child this year."
Gemma Owen's mum makes cryptic 'fakery' dig after Love Island star's Luca splitThe Mirena coil is used as a method of contraception and is also used to treat heavy periods and to protect the womb during menopause. Dani, who appeared on Love Island, shares twin girls Summer and Star with her partner, West Ham defender Jarrod Bowen. She also has a son, Santiago, two, to her ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence. Former stockbroker Sammy was jailed in 2021 for 42 months after scamming vulnerable OAPs out of an eye-watering £34,000.
But it appears that the reality star couldn't be happier with Bowen, who initially slid into her direct messages, she revealed. The couple started dating in 2021 and Dani told fans: "He slid in mine...however, I did have to give him my number, I can't be doing the DMs for days haha x."
Following the birth of her children, she moved home to be closer to hardman Danny who was said to be terrified of becoming a grandfather. But in recent years, Danny has shown a much softer side embracing his new life as a doting grandfather.
