Danny has won a string of sexiest male awards over the years, but he admits he finds life as a sex symbol quite comfortable.

He initially wanted to keep his buff body under wraps during his stint on Strictly, but he finally peeled off last week for a sizzling samba.

Danny performed the routine bare-chested, and how now admits shedding his clothes felt "liberating".

He told : ";I’m not a fool. I know I’m Sexiest Male.

";And Strictly is an easy show to get a guy to take his top off...

"I’m flattered but you don’t want it to have an adverse effect on your career.

"So I’ve tried to control that. With Strictly, I didn’t want to go out on week one opening my shirt and I didn’t want to present myself like that.
