Dan shared a photo documenting his very first Strictly rehearsal
The candid photo was likely taken by Dan's as-yet-unknown Strictly partner. At the weekend, Dan teased the identity of the pro in a video update shared with fans.
"I met my pro partner this week. I can't tell you anything about her because I'll be killed by a Strictly ninja," he joked. "But what I can say? She's patient, she's kind and she's lovely."
The 44-year-old went on to explain that everyone was "nervous" ahead of the series, but added there were some "brilliant dancers" in the group.
