He briefly took on a similar position with Nandos before opting to switch professions entirely.

The fitness fanatic, who has 165,000 , shared the reasons behind his career change in a heartfelt video.

He said: “I have been employed since I was 16-years-old.

“I’ve always felt a security with having a monthly salary or a weekly salary coming in.

“But if you never take that risk, you’ll never have the opportunity for the reward.

“I left McDonald’s and I just left Nandos and they were brilliant.

“They gave me so many opportunities but it’s not where I see my life going .

“They gave me an opportunity with social media but I only find fulfilment through exercise and helping people reach their goals.”

Daniel, who has launched his own personal training business, added: “It’s just kind of taken a toll on my mental health to the point where I can’t do it anymore.

“I need to take that jump, take the risk to build my own business.

“It’s a financial risk that’s scary.

“But it’s something I know I’m good at and find fulfilment from.”
