Dan, a Sheffield celebrity, captured the hearts of the nation last year as a Strictly Come Dancing underdog who made it to the 11th week of the competition, alongside professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova.
The pair were often spotted at Dan’s favorite Indian restaurant in the city, Prithiraj, on Ecclesall Road.
London has been long-considered the best place for media jobs in the country, and while there are many opportunities in the capital, it is not the only place you’ll find such work.
