Why Danny Green broke down in tears on “I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!”
Danny Green might have a reputation as one of Australia’s “tough guys”, but a recent episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! proves the boxing legend also has a softer side.
The 44-year-old appeared as a guest on Steve Price’s revamped Jungle Radio segment and told the radio personality just how much he missed and loved his Dad.

“He's given me the life I've got,” said an emotional Green.
Green’s father is reportedly struggling with dementia, and the former boxer said the hardest part about the experience is not being able to be there for his old man.
“I miss you mate. I miss you Dad. I love you Dad,” he added.
Fans of the reality TV show praised Green on social media.
“Pretty sure also your dad will be proud, god bless you and the family Danny!” one viewer tweeted.
They added: “So much respect to you and what you are doing with coward punch campaign.”
