Fans in the UK will get to see it until next month.
Danny says what he said on the show was “horrendous”, adding: “I’m so ashamed of myself.”
Danny goes on to apologise to Stephanie Marshall, who was married to Tyson Gordon, about “the way he spoke” to her. He then says he is “so sorry” to his MAFS Australia wife Bec Zacharia.
“I have a very dry sense of humour and sometimes it can come across as wrong, especially on TV,” he says. “I’m not here to make excuses or blame it on a sense of humour.
“I’m here to own up to my mistakes and apologise.”
Danny says he is sorry to viewers who were offended by his words. He continues: “Production, crew, everyone who works on MAFS, I let so many people down.”
“There’s nothing you can call me that you think worse than myself. I deserve all of the heat I am getting.”
HERE’S what Danny is apologising for.
MAFS Australia: What did Danny say in After The Dinner Party?
Danny didn’t actually appear in person on the final MAFS Australia: After The Dinner Party. Hosts Brittany Hockley, Laura Byrne and Jules Lund told viewers and the other MAFS cast that he had “ghosted” the production company.
Instead, they and fans were treated to some “revolting” unaired footage of him.
In it, Danny slammed show producers for matching him with Bec after the Final Test week had been recorded.
“You’re telling me that’s the best you can bring me?” he spat. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
“I have a [bleep-ing] cushy little life, I gave up my life to be here and I could roll into Coles right now, walk up to aisle four, there’s a bird in there and she’ll be better than Bec.
“She can’t be no worse, it’s impossible.”
Addressing MAFS Australia execs, Danny jabbed his finger aggressively and shouted: “You’re [bleep-ing bleep] at your jobs, bring me better women.”
Bec burst into tears, as her co-star Rachel Gilmore comforted her. Host Laura said: “What we just watched was disgusting. We all when we saw that footage were horrified. It was revolting. All of it was revolting.”
Bec said Danny had told her he loved her hours before that was filmed.
And Steph?
What did Danny say to Stephanie?
Danny had also been pretty foul-mouthed to Steph at the Dinner Party Reunion. Unseen footage also picked his mic up backstage as he told her “[bleep] off, with all due respect.”
He also called her a “[bleep-ing] little skank”.
Steph has since spoken about what happened in a podcast, saying Danny had got angry with her at the reunion. It came after they exchanged a series of perfectly innocent messages on social media.
In his rage, Danny accused Steph of “doing it for airtime”.
MAFS Australia fans Down Under have been horrified to see the other side of Danny. And British fans are likely to be quite shocked too.
