Fans were quick to comment, with one writing: "I can also see The Cat. Amazing," to which Danny replied: "I wore an old suit of his to my audition. That very same suit that was copied to the stitch but in pink instead of black. Well, the original design was, how shall I put it ... John Belushi with a tinge of Dan Ackroyd."

The former Strictly contestant previously opened up about returning to Death in Paradise, and revealed that he would love to take part in a spin-off series. He told TV Times: "I’d actually like to do a Death in Paradise spin-off with Dwayne, even if it were just a one-off special... I just need to meet up with the producer, Tony Jordan, to touch base and run it past him."
The actor is perhaps best known for playing Dwayne Myers on Death in Paradise
Speaking about leaving the show in 2018, he explained: "I left Death in Paradise because I wanted to get back on stage. I needed a bit more razzmatazz in my life, and then along came Strictly! I haven’t done a show for more than 20 years, so this is as close as I’m going to get to doing the jazz hands again."
