The Strictly star opened up on their rehearsals on BBC Breakfast earlier today (September 22).

Dan asked: “What do you mean?”

Sally then responded: “Well, a little bit more tanned. And a little bit thinner!”

Dan, who recently visited the hospital after banging his head, was quick to take the compliment.

He added: “I haven’t had any tan – maybe it’s the head injury from last week!

“I have actually lost, with this dancing business, I’ve lost a third of a stone already.

“My trousers are a little bit looser in the waist-based area.”

The star shared a snap of himself and Sally on the famous red sofa.

Sitting up straight in the shot, Dan joked: “Working on my new dancey posture with @sallynugent on the #BBCbreakfast this morning.

“Also noticed that my trousers were a bit loosey-goosey. Turns out I’ve lost a third of a stone already dancing with
@NadiyaBychkova.”

Dan’s training injury 

However, Dan’s journey hasn’t been completely smooth sailing on Strictly.

Last week, he was sent to hospital after banging his head on a window.

Thankfully, the star didn’t cause any serious damage and soon made his way home to rest.
