The 58-year-old actor exited the BBC show after losing the dreaded dance-off to retired cricket star Graeme Swann, but Danny - whose professional partner was Amy Dowden - still relished his time on 'Strictly'.
The 'Red Dwarf' star said: "It's been a great experience and I'm just so unhappy I didn't get Amy to where she needed to be. And I just think that as I said before, everything I have done on this show is because of Amy.
"It was her training, her choreography that got me here. I can only look as good as her dancing and you know, she is great, and I hope that her career goes up and onwards as she deserves."
Amy was similarly enthusiastic about her time on this year's show, praising the actor's consistent performances.
She said: "Do you know Danny told me day one that he has been a frustrated song and dance man. And I just think it's lovely that the nation has been able to see your talent and to see you back out there performing again, so thank you for delivering such amazing performances week in, week out."
Danny's fate was ultimately sealed by Head Judge Shirley Ballas, who explained that Graeme and his professional partner Oti Mabuse produced the more impressive performance in the dance off.
She shared: "Both couples were really wonderful. I think they both put the best step forward but with a more flawless performance, more energy packed, with more excitement I'm going to go with Graeme and Oti."
