“It’s been a really tough few years, to be honest,” Daniel admitted. “Trying to keep everything going and put on a brave face for everyone, it does take its toll. It’s exhausting trying to keep it all hidden.” He expressed gratitude for the support he’s received from friends, family, and his former partner, Stephen, acknowledging the importance of having a strong support system.

It highlights the dedication and strength it took for him to continue bringing joy to millions of viewers each week.

“I think sometimes people think you’re just being yourself on the telly, and you are, but you’re also putting on a show,” Daniel explained. “You’re trying to be entertaining, and you’re also trying to hide things. It’s a lot to juggle.”

Looking Ahead

Daniel’s decision to speak out is being praised by many as a courageous step towards raising awareness about the importance of mental and physical health. By sharing his story, he hopes to encourage others facing similar challenges to seek help and support.
