Dani Dyer has just confirmed she's part of the cast of an upcoming animated movie in a beloved franchise as a first trailer has landed. The former Love Island star voices a character in the new Shaun the Sheep movie, coming to cinemas this September.
The reality TV star has confirmed her involvement in Sky Original movie Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom on Instagram, where she took to her Stories to share the trailer.
"It was so fun being a part of this," she wrote in her Story, adding a laughing emoji, a pink heart and a sparkle emojis for good measure.

Dyer makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in the trailer, which you can watch at the top of this article. She plays the village's influencer as she can be seen snapping a selfie with Mossingham's "unsuspecting Beast" in the form of a Highland cow.
Directed by Steve Cox and Matthew Walker, the latest Aardman Animations movie takes place in the lead-up to Halloween. As the residents of Mossy Bottom Farm are looking forward to the spooky festivities, the clumsy Farmer trashes the Flock's pumpkin patch.
This leads to Shaun taking things into his own hooves as he goes full "mad scientist" to fix the problem. But the shenanigans have only just started for the Flock as the Farmer goes missing and all clues point to a mysterious beast roaming the nearby woods.
The film's synopsis teases that The Beast of Mossy Bottom has "all the ingredients" for a "monstrously fun family adventure".
The script is penned by Mark Burton, who wrote the latest Wallace & Gromit entry, Vengeance Most Fowl, and Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas' Giles Pilbrow, while Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park serves as a studio executive producer.
Teasing the film when it was announced back in May last year, Sky Cinema's executive producer and head of originals, Andrew Orr, said: "Shaun is a household name, so it's huge news for us to be welcoming him and the flock to our 2026 Sky Original film slate.
"It's an honour to work with Aardman at such an exciting time for the studio, with a film that we know fans of all ages will love. Expect laughs, spookiness and some brilliantly entertaining new characters."
