Dani Dyer has ‘never been in so much pain’ after day goes very wrong

Love Island winner Dani Dyer has told her followers she is in “agony” after a piercing went wrong and she has resorted to holding frozen peas up against her ear

Dani Dyer has been left in “so much pain” following a recent ear piercing. The former Love Island winner, 29, explained on Sunday afternoon that she once had her tragus pierced and decided to get the small piece cartilage of redone after realising how “pretty” the area can look with a stood in it.

But the star, who is the daughter of EastEnders legend Danny Dyer, has now taken to Instagram to ask her followers for advice after waking up in the middle of the night in “agony” and mistakenly took the piercing out, which has now left her potentially prone to infections.

Holding a bag of frozen peas up to her ear, she said: “Guys, I am in so much pain. So, years ago, I had my tragus pierced. I don’t know if it was sore but I took it out. Anyway, I thought ‘They look so pretty, let me get it re-pierced.’ and, absolutely fine, bit sore on the day but no issues.

“Last night, I woke up at four o’clock in the morning and my ear had another heartbeat. I have never been in so much pain with my ear.

“Then, I took the piercing out but I’ve looked online and it said I shouldn’t have done that because of like infection and stuff. I just thought I had to get it out. I’m in agony, I’ve been sitting here with peas. Has anyone else had this? It is so painful!”

Dani has endured a few painful injuries since her rise to fame on the ITV2 reality show and towards the end of last year, she had to miss out on competing on Strictly Come Dancing just before it was all set to take place after suffering a fall in rehearsals.

Fellow Love Island winner Amber Davies, who since her own time on the ITV2 programme has carved out an impressive career in musical theatre and currently starring in a touring production of Legally Blonde, served as her replacement and Dani subsequently had to endure a recovery period for her foot.

At the time, she said: “It’s been a lazy.. emotional week I was so excited for this side of the year but it really hasn’t ended the way I wanted it too.. taking everyday as it comes whilst my annoying foot gets better!”

Prior to that, the TV star part in ITV2’s Survival of the Fittest shortly before she entered Love Island. But even then, she had to quit before she could show off her survival skills, as she dislocated her shoulder while zooming headfirst down a waterslide while filming a challenge.

The reality star was treated by the medics on site and later taken to the hospital, a day after she entered the show’s lodge in the wilderness. Unfortunately, producers said she wasn’t able to finish the show due to the injury.

Later speaking about the incident on Good Morning Britain, Dani said: “I tried to put it back in and carry on with the challenge, and it just got worse. It was so bad the pain, it was horrible.”
