The Benidorm singer was eliminated with Irish teenager Brendan Murray just one week away from the final after receiving fewest public votes.
After his departure Danny said: “I never dreamt I’d be here, never ever. I’ve loved it!
“I’ve loved it. Thank you so much.
“This is only the start for me. Same as us all.
“I love you all, the guys, the team, Simon, all of you, thank you.
“We’ve got a friendship, awesome, love you.
Danny has promised fans would see him again – and he has been announced as one of the eight acts that will make up a live touring show in 2019.
His fans took to Twitter in their droves last night to express their disappointment that the 38-year-old, originally from Shipley, and now a big favourite on Spain’s Costa Blanca is out of the competition.

Danny was born with a cleft palate, which affects an estimated one in 700 babies, and recently made a special appearance on ITV’s Good Morning, meeting and greeting a group of fans who were all born with a cleft lip.
