Danny did not say it back, telling nine.com.au<\/a> it was the last thing he expected.\ufeff<\/p>\n

“I was just shocked when I heard it. Normally, girls would hint towards that,” he said.<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGODanny was definitely taken aback by the L-bomb. (Nine)<\/p>\n

Danny said he would’ve preferred if Bec’s declaration was said “behind closed doors” rather than in front of everyone, but understood being in the experiment didn’t exactly call for privacy.<\/p>\n

“This is MAFS isn’t it? You’ve got to take the rough with the smooth,” he said.<\/p>\n

Danny did not return the L-bomb, \ufeffsaying he “definitely would never say ‘I love you’ to someone I didn’t love”.<\/p>\n

EXCLUSIVE: Bec reveals devastating end to her engagement in unseen audition tape<\/a><\/p>\n

Bec’s decision to share her feelings on the couch was spur-of-the-moment, but she had known it was love for a while.<\/p>\n

“Stella and I had talked about it on the retreat, only she knew, and then when I got back from the retreat, I rang Sammy and I said, ‘Sammy, this is how I feel.’<\/p>\n

“Sam said, ‘I think you should wait to say it.’ Then at the Commitment Ceremony, I just turned to Danny and I said, ‘I love you’. I’m a lover girl at the end of the day. That’s how I felt in the moment,” she said.<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGOBec couldn’t hold in her feelings any longer. (Nine)<\/p>\n

She knew she caught Danny off guard and did not expect him to say it back.<\/p>\n

\ufeff”I think that the way Danny responds is going to be a big talking point to everyone, because everyone thinks, ‘Oh, he’s not into her, he’s not into her.’<\/p>\n

“At that time, I didn’t expect him to say it back to me, at all. I had zero expectation of that. But that’s how I felt, and I was always going to say it. I’m not going to deny saying things.”<\/p>\n

\"EMBARGOAlthough he wasn’t there yet, Danny told Bec her words made him “happy”. (Nine)<\/p>\n

That meant she also had no regrets about putting her heart on the line.<\/p>\n

“This is me: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the great, you’re seeing it all. I don’t have any regrets. He is an amazing human being.\ufeff”<\/p>\n
