Coming from someone who cannot stand Danny (i voted him and Sarah my least favourites in the first week, and he's stayed near and/or bottom of my HM list throughout, only Chloe beats him there now as my least favourite) i can relate somewhat to being unable to pronounce certain words well, manipulative being one of them.
However, Dirty Danny being Dirty Danny, im sure it's all part of his 'awwwwww bless poor danny' act! Worse still, people seem to be buying it as he's been favourite with the bookies for the best part of 3 weeks now!
