The former Towie star, 27, made headlines three years ago after a recording of him threatening to stab his then girlfriend Megan Tomlin was leaked.
He was booted from the reality show and dropped from the Dreamboys roster as a result of his expletive-filled rant.
Touching on the incident in the house, Dan said: "Most people say things when they're angry that they never mean. I said something that I never ever meant, I'm embarrassed by it. It was a horrible time.
"I think it was my children that kept me going."
But Solace Women's Aid don't believe Dan should have been given such a public platform to discuss his actions.
The charity told Mail Online: "We are disappointed that Celebrity Big Brother have taken this stance particularly when Towie removed (Dan Osborne) from the show.
"ITV took a strong position that domestic violence is never acceptable and any influential broadcaster has a social responsibility to take a stand against it, otherwise this kind of behaviour is normalised and women’s lives are at stake.
"By having Osborne on Celebrity Big Brother is an opportunity to rehabilitate his image, not his behaviour and what message does this send to the public and especially to the 1.9 million people affected by domestic violence every year in the UK."
CBB viewers will see Dan break down in tears tonight, as he misses his three children.
The reality star reveals his anguish in the Diary Room, after spending five days away from his daughters Ella and Mia, and son Teddy.
The former Towie star struggles to hold back his tears as he thinks about his little ones back home.
He reveals to Big Brother: "I just miss them…" before choking up once again.
"I miss them calling me daddy, and the little things like cuddling up to them and playing and stuff."
He then adds with a chuckle: "I feel stupid its only like day 5! But I do miss them. I'm used to just having my kids with me every day.
"I have my girls, and even if I've got a few hours spare I'll drive to my boy, who's an hour away from me, but I'll go and see him. You can't do that when you're in here."
Revealing he doesn't feel he has anyone to confide in, he goes on: "I don't know if there's anyone in here who I'd sit down and have a serious chat with.
"I feel like Hardeep would but he's up for nominations. He's a good guy."
Dan shares daughters Ella, three and Mia, two months, with his wife Jacqueline Jossa, as well as son Teddy, four, from his relationship with Megan Tomlin.
