This emotional confession comes after Oti Mabuse opened up about her brother's suicide. The dancer praised Danny for being open about his feelings, saying: "I think it’s really good that you keep saying people must talk, especially young boys,.

"I don’t think young boys tend to talk that much and the suicide rate is so high in young men especially, so I think it’s important that you keep telling people to talk about it."

Oti went on to share: "I had a brother who committed suicide when he was 16 and I think if he had spoken to someone about what he was feeling, it would’ve been a different turnout."
