The TV star spoke to the newspaper after they revealed her ex will not face charges by police, despite various allegations she made against him - claims he has since strenuously denied.
Tom was arrested in April 2015 for allegedly assaulting and harassing Danniella.
Detained in his home city of Swansea and after being held in a cell for 11 hours, the cage fighter was bailed as police continued their investigation, but no charges were eventually brought.
His arrest followed claims by Danniella on social media that her younger former lover had been violent towards her, posting a photograph on Twitter of her bruised hand. Once again, he denied the allegations.
