Dan took place in the 2021 series of Strictly Come Dancing, coming in fifth place behind winner Rose Ayling-Ellis, John Whaite, AJ Odudu and Rhys Stevenson. However, he chose not to take part in the Strictlytour 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.
