"I was really worrying about it but luckily it healed up well and I'm busy again."
Speaking from the Ideal Home Show, Danni explained her initial worry, saying: "I've obviously got a scar on my face now which I've been getting a lot of treatment and having used a fringed cap to cover it.
"I was a bit worried about if people would want to have me on screens after that happened, especially straight after, it was pretty nasty for a while."
Moments after coming off stage at the show held at Olympia London, Danni said: "It's been pretty good fun, it was really nice, I had a queue of people wanting to chat with me afterwards.
"It's just really sweet actually getting to talk face to face and be involved and hear people's plans for moving abroad."
However, she joked she was extremely excited about being sent a vegetable pot for her kitchen to grow her own tasty treats at home.
