But it's also a bit embarrassing for me Danni Menzies 'It's just like, really? Because you know, in the nicest possible way, the guys are always in the probably 50 to 70 age bracket, probably just definitely not what I would go for, to put it that way.

Advertisement Alex added: 'If they have got your face, and somebody is messaging 'you,' it's like, OK, can I have a video of you doing something to yourself? Someone could make that.'

'And that could literally be any image from your Instagram, and they can create a video of you sha**ing from that.' Advertisement Who is Danni and why did she leave A Place In The Sun? Danni presented on Channel 4's A Place In The Sun for nearly six years and left in 2022 to explore other opportunities closer to home.

"Also, six years in the same job, travelling loads, it was such an amazing experience, went to lots of great places, met lots of great people," she added. "I was very much in my comfort zone and now I'm very much out of my comfort zone and it makes you feel a little bit more alive to be honest."
