\"EMBARGOAt the time of this photo, Danny had no idea Gia was making bold claims about his Dinner Party behaviour. (Nine)<\/p>\n

“That is ridiculous. There are cameras everywhere, if I was\ufeff looking at Gia it would’ve been caught on camera … I think that is just Gia being delusional,” Danny said.<\/p>\n

He reflected on how it felt being “collateral damage” in the feud between the warring brides.<\/p>\n

“I feel like Gia was on one side of the road with a shotgun and Bec was on the other side of the road with a shotgun, they were pointing at each other but I was caught up in the middle,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Danny said he’d been “cringing” in moments while watching his journey back, especially over how often he spoke about his and Bec’s problems with sexual chemistry.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Danny defended his answer, explaining that he misinterpreted the question. You can see it for yourself in the video below.<\/p>\n

While the producer asked about his “sexual attraction” to his wife, Danny thought it was about the “sexual chemistry” between them.\ufeff<\/p>\n

If he’d heard correctly, his answer would’ve been very different.\ufeff<\/p>\n

“Sexual attraction was always there from the beginning,” he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The lack of sexual chemistry between Bec and Danny has been a big storyline so far.<\/p>\n
