EastEnders viewers praised Dani Dyer as she made her much-anticipated cameo last night and they have pleaded for her to be on the soap permanently.
Mum-of-one Dani, 24, made her return to acting after a string of appearances on reality series (not to mention a certain soap detergent advert).
And fans couldn’t get enough of her.
Who did Dani Dyer play in EastEnders?
Dani showed up as taxi driver Jeanette, who picked up Mick Carter (played by real-life dad Danny Dyer) from Albert Square.
He was on the way to hospital to check his wife Linda’s pregnancy scan.

He opened the conversation by saying, “thank you so much, you are literally my guardian angel” and drove off towards off to the hospital.
However, when Jeanette went into labour herself, Mick was forced to jump into the driver’s seat to take her to there himself.
And in touching scenes, he talked her through breathing exercises at the hospital as her contractions began.
I didn't hold out for too much hope that @Dani_MasDyer would be very good, but I'm glad I was proven wrong! I enjoyed those scenes in #EastEnders tonight, @bbceastenders make her a regular???

However, another said: “If her cameo is as annoying as her bloody ‘perf with surf’ advert then I think I will give the episode a miss.”
