He continued: ‘We’re not together right now but she really enjoyed it. We’re still talking, and she was so positive about the whole experience.’

Meanwhile Danny clearly still has a lot of love for his former girlfriend, as he revealed earlier in the day that he was left in tears when the show finished as he couldn’t wait to be reunited with her. 

Asked what he did after filming he gushed: ‘I was going to see my girlfriend and I love her so much so I was emotional.’

Speaking about the series he said: ‘There was so much going on, so much tension and so many emotions were flying but you didn’t have time to process. You didn’t have time alone. Time to go and do things. 

‘So, you know, the only time afterwards was that kind of release and like feeling it and letting it out in that way.’

MailOnline previously revealed Danny and AnnaLynne had called it quits after dating for nine months amid his divorce from ex-wife Victoria Rose O’Callaghan.

Danny, who stars in the new Netflix show Celebrity Bear Hunt, presented by Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls, spent Christmas and the New Year in the UK instead of travelling to the States to be with AnnaLynne.

The ex-Strictly star removed AnnaLynne as an Instagram contact on December 21, which signified trouble in paradise and now a source close to the exes revealed to MailOnline their relationship was on the rocks for weeks.

It’s believed that AnnaLynee was one of several women Danny dated following his painful separation from ex-wife Victoria, 42, who he split from in November 2023 after four years of marriage.

An insider said: ‘Danny and AnnaLynne have decided to part ways.

‘They have known each other for years after meeting at on celebrity dating app Raya but being in an official relationship hasn’t worked out for them.

‘Danny was spending the majority of his time in America to be with AnnaLynne but since their split he has been at home, which is the biggest sign they’re over for good.

‘Their romance was very turbulent, Danny is going through a very difficult divorce and wasn’t able to give AnnaLynne everything she needed.

‘Being in another serious relationship wasn’t something he wanted so soon after his separation from Victoria.’

Danny went official with AnnaLynne in April last year, sharing photographs of the pair on Instagram alongside the caption: ‘My miracle… loving you is the easiest thing in the world.’

Responding to his post, AnnaLynne, famed for playing Naomi Clark in the US TV series 90210 from 2008 to 2013, said: ‘I can’t believe it’s you. Thank you for showing up as you do in life. Thank you for choosing to walk through the fire. Of course… because you’re you, the fire was the one in fear in that dynamic.’

Danny kept it cool in a black suit and white T-shirt as he was seen dancing the night away with Ted Lasso star Kola Bokinni in a video shared by Lottie Moss. 

Lottie made a dramatic exit in a plunging gown as she headed home from the after party at Kettner’s, despite previously admitting she was ‘bored’ for most of her time filming the show. 

The younger sister of Kate Moss explained that despite the show being ‘life-changing’ she struggled with keeping herself busy as she had no one to talk too. 

However she looked to be enjoying the night out with her fellow camp mates as she caught the eye in a sweeping white gown. 

Complete with exaggerated breast cups reminiscent of those worn by pop icon Madonna during her legendary Blond Ambition tour – some 35 years ago – Lottie out on a leggy display in the dress which also featured a high leg slit.
