Posting on Twitter this morning ahead of week eight of the popular show, BBC Breakfast presenter, Dan, from Sheffield, revealed that he spent last night eating out while coated in fake tan.

Posting a picture, he joked: “I do love Strictly but I will never get used to spending Friday nights with this strangely brown fella.”
