"It's 3 years since we climbed Kilimanjaro with an incredible team to raise money for @comicrelief and, on one occasion, I tried to lift @shirleyballas' spirits with a spot of paso [laughing emojis]. Sorry for not telling you about this @nadiyabychkova."
Dan and Nadiya proved a popular pair on Strictly
Fans loved his funny confession with one writing: "I think 'experience' is overstating the situation somewhat so I don't think you need to apologise for not mentioning it." A second noted: "You are so lovely in your efforts to cheer her up."

They ended the competition in fifth place
Dan proved to be a very popular contestant on Strictly, finishing the competition in fifth place behind winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, John Whaite, AJ Odudu and Rhys Stevenson. However, he chose not to take part in the Strictly tour following the end of the show, and recently explained his reason for opting out.
"I really enjoyed Strictly this year with @nadiyabychkova but I said no to the tour because 1. I only expected to be away from my family for three weeks and it became three months. 2. I just have too much work on," the father-of-three shared.
