Throughout lockdown Dan has been trying to maintain his hair length with the help of his wife Sarah.

In fact, Dan couldn't even share the results of his new 'do because he said it is "so bad", so he shared a hilarious throwback photo of himself as a child sporting a rather questionable hairdo. "My wife finally agreed to cut my hair," he said at the time.
