His reunion with his wife Georgia and their six-year-old son Cooper was one of the most moving moments of the entire series as he sobbed in their arms.
And the scene clearly struck a chord with viewers as they voted in their millions to make him King of the Jungle on Sunday night.
"It was the most beautiful moment of my entire life," Danny says. "I remember Cooper's little smile and his little face which was so excited to see me... it was just pure love and emotion."
Going into I'm a Celebrity, Danny says his focal point was to make Cooper proud. And faced with his boy again after such a long time, it was clear he had done just that.
"I said, 'are you being a good boy for Mummy? and he said, 'I'm the talk of the school, Daddy"," says Danny.
In fact, his boy had been trying to emulate his dad on TV by making up his own Bushtucker Trials at home.
FEELINGS
"He went to me, 'I hope you don't bring any critters home," he laughs.
As well as the three weeks in camp, Danny was also on lockdown without his phone for a further week.
"I've never been away from Georgia or Cooper for that long. Even on tour, we come home at weekends," he says.
"But there was no contact for a month." Georgia was thrilled to see her husband again. "She told me how proud she was of me and I just cried," he says.
