He said: 'I've had death threats, racism, people threatening to come around to my house and hurt my family. As worse as you can imagine, I've had it all. And it's still happening today. Daily.
'Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but there's never an excuse for that kind of stuff. It's horrible.'
Danny noted that it's affecting his family – so much so that they had to get the police involved: 'I'm not going to sit there and feel guilty. The thing that annoys me is that my family gets upset.
'Especially when I was in the villa, they had a tough time dealing with all the abuse.'

Meanwhile, Yewande took to Instagram to share the Blend Out Bullying campaign with Glamour Magazine as she discussed being a victim of horrific trolling online.
She said: 'It's been quite hard. I think the worst thing I've seen about myself online is that I'm too dark, I'm too skinny and that I'm ugly.
'I think reality TV stars get a lot of hate because we are on TV for quite a while and people follow our journey and they see different sides to our character and so feel like they really do know us, so they feel like it's OK for them to have to have a positive and negative opinions of us.
'Would you like that if they said that to a friend? Would you like it if they said that to a cousin or an you mum or dad?

'If you feel like if the answer is no then you really need to reevaluate what you're going to say.'
Earlier this month, Danny revealed he had been shunned by both Yewande and Arabella after leaving the show.
During his time on the show, Danny coupled with Yewande before dumping her for the newcomer Arabella.
Opening up about his relationships on ITV's Lorraine Danny said: 'Everything I said to Yewande at the time I did genuinely mean. I believed it when I said it, and I meant it when I said it, but I couldn't have predicted that.'
He added: 'I've reached out to Arabella and Yewande but not had a response yet.'
He then coupled up with the model and actress Jourdan Riane before the pair were booted off the series by the public.
