The Love Island star sparked outrage after a past comment resurfaced which showed him using the n-word.
He wrote an apology alongside a selfie which said: "Hello everyone, I am finally home safe and sound and back with my friends and family and more importantly my cat ruffin.
"Whilst I would have liked to have stayed in a little longer so people could have got to know the real Danny Bibby, I am glad to be back so I can address the matter of the post on Instagram properly.
"Whilst I was made aware of this and issued an apology whilst in the villa, the matter has always been on the front of my mind during the days in there and I would like to now add to what was said."
He also said that he now understands more that the use of the word is 'deeply offensive' to people and that he was sorry.
He added: "I have listened too the likes of 50cent, drake and Eminem since I was a kid, and I used it like they do as a term of friends/bro/brother. THAT IS THE TRUTH."
Danny went on to say that he will never use the word again and that he thinks 'education is key to solving problems'.
He said: "I whole heartedly apologise to anyone who I have offended and ask your forgiveness.
"I would like to now get on a normal life with my brilliant friends and family.
"I’d like to say a big thank you to all my friends, family and the public for their overwhelming support throughout my love island journey."
