This comes after the Red Dwarf actor failed to appear on It Takes Two yesterday, leaving Amy to fend for herself on the sofa.

They added that Danny was "really unhappy" with how he had been treated and that "nobody knows if he'll show up for the final show".
Strictly reps told the publication: "Every year all of our celebrities are invited back for the grand final at the end of the series. This year is no different and we look forward to reuniting them all once more."
Mirror TV has contacted Danny's reps for comment.
Danny was booted out of the competition at the weekend and subsequently faced a huge backlash online after deciding not to appear on Strictly spin-off show It Takes Two on Monday night as scheduled.
Instead, Danny's professional dance partner Amy appeared on the show by herself.

One wrote: “What excuse does He have for not showing up on #ittakestwo yesterday, Amy spent hours training him and he couldn’t be bothered to support her. I was thinking the wrong couple was put through until he did that.”
Another commented: “How disrespectful for Danny not to turn up for Strictly: It Takes Two with someone who has invested so much time in him. Feel sorry for Amy, I bet he’s been a nightmare to work with. Plain arrogant... “
One critic tweeted: “I’m really disappointed in Danny’s behaviour after leaving the show on Sunday and felt for Amy on tonight’s It Takes Two.”
Another posted: “So, Danny has 'declined to appear' on @bbcstrictly #ittakestwo - what a pathetic diva. Lost all my respect for him.”
Meanwhile, one eyewitness claims to have seen Danny lose his cool at the Strictly after party following his elimination at the weekend at the studios in Elstree.
“Danny lashed out at the judges, calling them imbeciles, and told friends and family he would have won the show,” a source told The Sun .
“He was wandering around the after-party mumbling to himself and anyone who would listen.
“Danny thinks that there was a smear campaign against him started by Amy and he is furious that she has caused him any adverse publicity.
“He blames her for speaking out to Strictly bosses and thinks he would’ve sailed to the final without the attention the story brought.
“Danny is also saying he is refusing to do the Strictly tour because of the backlash and that, in his words, he’s ‘done with the show’.”
