She said filming was paused while Danny took a moment to gather himself during a particularly tough task set by judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.
With presenters Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding on hand to offer encouragement, the group were challenged with designing a showstopping bake inspired by a personal failure.
Danny, 46, came up with the idea to create a cake of himself stuck in a wardrobe after a real-life DIY disaster.

On the latest episode of Celebrity Bake Off, the four celeb contestants pulled out all the stops.
But Celebrity Juice star Leigh emerged victorious thanks to his creation of the ‘most disgusting’ thing Dame Prue had ever set eyes on.
During another showstopper round, Leigh, Yinka, Rhod and Danny were tasked with baking “something you would only tell your therapist.”
The requirements were that the cake had to have two layers of sponge, was sandwiched with butter cream or jam, and decorated in an amusing way.
When asked about the inspiration behind his cake, Leigh confessed to Dame Prue, Paul, Alison, and Noel: “I went snowboarding, and I knocked off my toenail.
“My shoe felt like it was filled with water, but it was blood.”

Leigh's recreation of the horror incident in cake form included a chocolate sponge covered in cocoa buttercream decorated with fondant icing, which he airbrushed to create a skin-like texture.
