Dani Dyer has revealed she is experience ‘vivid, frightening’ nightmares during her pregnancy.
The Love Island star, 24, said she has been waking up in the night in a pool of sweat as she awaits the arrival of her unborn baby, whose due date is expected to be around January 2021.
On her podcast Sorted With The Dyers, Dani said she believes the night terrors stem from her anxiety, which was exasperated after her stint on the hit ITV2 show.

Dani said: ‘Since Love Island, my sleep has never been great.
‘I don’t know if that is because I started getting anxiety after Love Island.
‘Because I used to fall asleep when I wanted to. If I wanted to have a 20-minute nap I could. But since Love Island I’ve had spurts of insomnia.

‘Sleeping is a bit of a struggle now being pregnant.
‘But the dreams I’ve been having have been really frightening.’
Dani said the last night terror she had was a woman dressed in black holding a suitcase just staring at her in the kitchen.
‘When I woke up I was shaking, and I had to wake Sammy up. I don’t know what Sammy is going to do,’ she said. ‘They are very vivid, real dreams.

‘Then I had a random dream my kid was 10lb, and the doctor wouldn’t tell me the gender. Really weird.’
The Love Island star went on to say she used to have repeated nightmares as a child and her mother Joanne would often find her sleepwalking and would have to put a cold flannel over the back of her neck to calm Dani down mid nightmare.
The revelation comes a week after it was claimed Dani is ‘upset, worried and terrified’ after learning her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence will stand trial, weeks after she is due to give birth.
Sammy appeared in court back in February accused of scamming two elderly men out of £34,000 by posing as a financial investor, but his court case was adjourned due to the pandemic.

The stockbroker denies carrying on a regulated activity – providing investment services – between July 2016 to December 2018 while not an authorised or exempt person.
At the 15 minute plea and trial preparation hearing, Mr Mason said: ‘We anticipate this is a three or four day trial.
‘Bearing in mind the two complainants in this case – one is 90 and one is 80 – we have asked for special measures for both of them.’
The Love Island star split from Sammy a month after his court hearing but reunited their romance shortly after and announced she was pregnant in July.
A source told The Sun: ‘Dani is upset, worried, terrified. Without a court date they kind of pushed this all to the back of their minds – now it is very real.
‘She’s expecting a child with a bloke who could go to prison. Her baby is due at the end of January and then Sammy will up in court a few weeks later.
‘Those first few weeks of having a newborn baby are so special but it will also be the countdown to his trial.’
