Danny, the son of singer Mary Black, was previously with Laura Whitmore for more than two years but they split in 2012 when Laura landed a gig in Australia. He then dated former Miss Ireland Holly Carpenter in 2015 but the pair split up in 2016.

The Closer To You hitmaker recently said he has become more private talking about his personal life, as he always shuts down romance rumours.

He said: “It’s a bit better. It keeps it a bit separate as well for myself and for my own friends and family.

“If we were having a real DMC (deep meaningful conversation) podcast, we would get deep into all the issues of when we got dropped by Island, moving back to London and me trying to find the difference between Danny from the Coronas and Danny O’Reilly – me, like”.

The 37-year-old admitted he had “serious trust issues” when he started dating as he didn’t know if people liked him just because of his famous mother.

“Definitely, the Mary Black thing was a strange thing for me growing up.

She’s the best mam ever but it was definitely… It took me a while to get used to it,” he told Doireann Garrihy on the Laughs of her Life podcast.

“I remember when we were in Irish college and no girls would even talk to me and then by the second week in Irish college, the word would’ve spread.

“The next thing there would be girls talking to me and I sort of had serious trust issues from an early age because of that, I think.

“I feel bad saying that now because I’m so proud of my mam, she’s so amazing, but I used to deny it like...”.
