Taking to TikTok this week, the fan in question detailed how the Irish star saved her and her friend from a night on the street after they missed their last train home.
The singer put his hand in his pocket once he learned of their dilemma, offering to pay for their hotel for the night.
In the viral TikTok, the fans said: "We missed our train going back and would have had to spend the remaining hours at the train station or have to look for a 24-hour McDonald’s to spend till dawn."
After seeing the fans and hearing their distress, Danny gave them £200 to get a hotel for the night so they could rest up and get home safely the next day.
@bjpspeaks My core memory. His kindness. I must have saved a country in my past life to be able to have such an overwhelming experience in the first ever concert I ever attended. Never in my wildest imaginings I get to hold his hand and say “ Thank you for being so kind.” I never knew that celebrities like him exist in a world where sometimes you lose a part of your soul and forget to look down just because euphoria makes you high. I saw him in his rare form, hugged and talked to everyone who waited outside for him amidst the cold. It was as if he has all the time in the world to spend to every single soul he met that night. That when it is our time, a chance encounter with him made this experience a core memory where kindness is the universal theme. He is so bothered when he knew that we missed our train going back and would have to spend the remaining hours at the train station or have to look for a 24 hours Mcdonald’s to spend till dawn. He called us back, waved at us and asked his security to escort us. He insisted and gave us 200£ to book a hotel and made sure that we will be safe that night. He blew us kisses in our teary eyed form to cap the night. He is not just a singer but a talented musician who can play a variety of instruments including a piano. But, above all these, I love him for being so kind. May your generosity and chivalry will return to you a thousand fold and that you may always win in this life. To heal your every broken part. You made us so happy to the moon and back by giving us this once in a lifetime encounter. Thank you God for this gift. @The Script ♬ original sound - BJP

Fans were quick to praise the Irish star in the comments following the kind gesture.
"Genuine Gratitude for people waiting in the cold to see him. That’s how it’s done," one user wrote.
"Danny O’Donoghue is such a lovely guy. My son was really ill in Temple St Hospital at Christmas 2012. On Christmas morning Danny arrived to the hospital to visit the children. He was on his own, no cameras or media. Just spending time with sick children out of the goodness of his heart. He’s an absolute gentleman," another penned.
"I work in the area he’s from, when his parents passed he gave every single bit of furniture from the house to the local neighbors in need, really decent man," a third shared.
"What a man. Knows who put him in the position he is in today," a fourth added.
