If he's not seen them for a few days, he'll be ringing me saying, 'Are you in? I want to come over', or he'll pick up Santi from nursery for me or come over and cook me dinner. He's so supportive and so loving, he's such an emotional man and since he's become a grandad, he's even more emotional." Danny has recently opened up about his wild past, which he admitted affected his children also. Danny is dad to Danny, Sunnie, 18, and Arty, 11. Speaking candidly on ITV's The Assembly, Danny revealed: "I caused quite a lot of pain to my children, the stuff I was getting up to, just being vacant, not engaging, not being available. It's not about money, you can live in a cardboard box. Children need stability and affection and to feel like they're loved. That's it, when you haven't got that, it's a really tough thing." However, he is now a changed man, as his family are more solid than ever. He added: "Me and Jo are going to be together for ever. Abso-f******-lutely. Completely. We will probably renew our wedding vows. I want to see my Dani tie the knot first, whenever that will be. "We've gone through a lot me and Jo. I take full responsibility for most of our ups-and-downs. Most of the downs, really. We've been together since we were 14 so we have spent our whole life together. We were parents at 18, we were still babies ourselves but then we were trying to parent from 18 onwards with Dani. So we have gone through a lot together."
