How did followers react?

Hundreds of fans gave Dan’s tweet their approval with a Like. Several also retweeted it.

They tweeted back: “Ah OK – a great way to enjoy yourself and lose a few pounds. Thanks for the reply.”

“You look great,” someone else complimented him.

You look great.

And another person joked: “We’ll be expecting Dan’s dance workout for Christmas. But please no lycra.”

Other fans light-heartedly mentioned how Dan’s Strictly regime was a good pre-workout for festive feasting in itself.

One person teased: “If you stuff your face over Christmas you could have that all back for the New Year!”

And another deadpanned: “Christmas soon sort that one.”
