Danny, who currently plays regular favourite Mick Carter on EastEnders, has taken some time out of his schedule to raise awareness about how Sport Relief can change lives.
TV’s tough man as he’s become known, is seen to break down in tears as he sees the dire situation some third world children and families are forced to face day-to-day.
“I knew this trip was going to be bad… when it’s in front of you… I’ve got children myself… I don’t know how they do it,” he says.
This week on This Morning, Danny watched back a clip of his time there and was overcome with emotion once again saying: “It’s done me in now watching that”.
"It was like being back in the 15th century. It's like a balance of life. There was just no balance to what we've got and what they've got,” he added.
During his visit to Sierra Leone, Danny visited a slum where he met two boys, Mohammed aged 12 and Musa aged 8, who tragically lost five family members to Ebola, including their parents. Mohammed is an Ebola survivor, and luckily their mother’s best friend took in both boys, however she can no longer support them through school.
The 38 year old actor also met a family who lives and works on a rubbish dump, who earn just $5 a day for a combined effort of scavenging across the dump, as well as a hospital where he witnessed just how big a problem malaria is in Sierra Leone.
"I thought I came from poverty, but I don't come from poverty! This is a whole new level,” Danny told Phil and Holly.
Sport Relief 2016 airs Friday 18th March, BBC One from 7pm.
