The Circle's Dan Has Already Starred In ITV's Meet The Parents

The Circle's Dan Has Already Starred In ITV's Meet The Parents

Dan the man has been quite the popular one during his stint on The Circle, but it turns out he's no stranger to a bit of reality TV.

The Circle's Dan has pretty much breezed his way to the final week of the Channel 4 programme thanks to his charming personality, incredible hashtags and straight up chat. After all, they don't call him #DirectDan for nothing.

But, it turns out that Dan is no stranger to the cameras as he's already been on another television programme and the chances are you've seen it.

Back in 2016, smooth-talking Dan the man appeared on ITV's unique dating show Meet The Parents where his mum was tasked with trying to find him a date...

Dan shared a little sneak peek of his appearance on the programme, as he tells his mum: "You're supposed to be selling me!"

He even managed to grab a cheeky picture backstage with presenter Holly Willoughby, which he later shared on Instagram while revealing he'd be appearing on the dating show.

"I wasn't gna post about it but the 1 by 1 messages are getting long ," he wrote.

"A few of you know but most of you don't. I'll be on that rectangle thing in your front room at 7 with my mum and aunt and a bunch of other cool people I met who I can now call friends.

"Watch it if you wna watch it. Don't if you don't. peace and love #MeetTheParents #CringeComer"

So, it turns out #DirectDan has always been a bit of a dab hand at hashtags.

While having a mooch at Dan's previous television appearances, we couldn't help but stalk his Instagram, which mostly comprises of family snaps, smoldering selfies and pictures of healthy meal he has whipped up in the kitchen - including that fancy pineapple rice dish.

Interestingly, there are zero images of his pet turtle, Fiji, who he brought along to his new flat on The Circle. However, after Fiji's undeniable popularity, we reckon he might get his own Instagram account as soon as he's out of The Circle.

The Circle continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
