Love Island Fans Call For Kaz's Date Danny To Be Axed From Show Following Racist Remarks

However, some viewers have been outraged after finding Danny's Instagram and seeing he used a racial slur when replying to a comment on the app - and believe he should now be removed from the programme entirely.

On a photo posted in 2019, the heavily tattooed plumber from Wigan received a comment from a friend on a selfie, saying "Champ."

A reply from Danny's account from at the time read: "My n****", which led to many people demanding his immediate removal from the villa.

Taking a screenshot of the racist comment, YouTuber Murad Merali said: "This new Danny guy?! Excuse me? Just cancel this season immediately."

Murad's post quickly gained traction, with people agreeing the 25-year-old should be shown the door.

"The fact he posted that with absolutely no shame is scary," one person agreed, while another said: "[Love Island] removed [season 5 contestant] Sherif with such quickness, imma need them to do the same with him."

Another person questioned the vetting process, writing: "Surely you'd look through someone's Instagram before putting them on the show?" while a fourth said: "Get Danny out of the villa before I break in and drag him out myself.

Danny's father, Richard, has since spoken out about the slur, which has since been deleted from Danny's Instagram account.

"Danny does not have a racist bone in his body and there were no racist intentions to this post," he said. "Although it was not done maliciously, it was a mistake. I absolutely apologise on his behalf for the offence this wording may have caused. That would never have been his intention."

Tyla has contacted ITV for comment.
