Danny said: ‘We were making love on the bed and heard a ‘baaahaaa’. It was so weird but we just laid there laughing. We didn’t shush Phyllis (the goat) out, she just stood there watching – like a voyeur.’
Yet despite the ‘hilarious’ time spent together, the model confessed that Mel ‘pulled back emotionally’.
Danny added: ‘The impact of that relationship has left her unable to trust anyone fully and let them into her heart. Mel will go so far and then pull back – and that happened with me.

‘I doubt that Mel will ever be able to trust someone enough to be in love or be married again.’
A representative for Mel denied to comment to MailOnline.
The model claims the singer has not recovered from her ten-year marriage to Stephen, 43, who she blames for blowing her £80million fortune.
The film producer – with whom she has daughter Madison, seven – has strenuously denied all of her claims.

Danny insisted he is not ‘bad mouthing’ Mel and still wants to be with her, while hoping she can recover from her bad relationship.

The explosive narrative will feature narrations by herself, her daughter, Phoenix, mum Andrea and actress, Zaraah Abrahams.
Mel and film producer Stephen married in 2007 but later divorced in December last year after a long-running battle in which lurid tales of kinky sex, drug and alcohol abuse and allegations of domestic violence made headlines.
Despite their divorce being finalised, the disagreements over children's custody and finances have dragged on through the summer.
