Dan, 43, is a proud father to three children, son Joe and daughters Susanna and Jessica. He has previously had to clear up confusion over his son’s name having previously joked about how much he lives the actor Chuck Norris. "About 5 years ago I joked in an interview that I loved @chucknorris & I'd name a son after him," he explained on Instagram. "My daft mate now keeps changing my wiki page to claim I have a son called 'Chuck'."
The TV star has been happily married to wife Sarah since 2001 and the family live together in Sheffield, along with their pet dog Winnie.
