What a great story tattieboy, thank you.
He doesn't actually have people at his house, according to someone I met in Dublin after she had been to one of his concerts. They were in a huge marquee with very few toilets, and had a cup of tea and two biscuits! There were probably well over a thousand in the audience!
I think Daniel is winning new fans because his sense of humour comes through well with Tess, Claudia and Zoe. Anita is also exhibiting some great comic timing. Others are far back in this respect.

This was posted before D O'D appeared on Strictly. I think katt was right to reserve judgement!

I agree Daniel is winning new fans all the time.
Daniel is Ireland's equivalent of Cliff Richard.
His fans adore him and make One Directioners seem tame.

I will miss Daniel.
DOD also has a huge fan base down here in rural Devon, he's played a lot on local radio, we have the right demographic here for his type of music, which tends to be of the sentimental type, often with a religious bent to it.
Apparently, he's absolutely brilliant with people with learning difficulties at his shows, a nice guy I think.

Not for one moment did I think I would like Daniel and had totally pre-judged him. 
I was so wrong and found him to be an engaging, gentle, good humoured and very likeable man.
I am sorry to see him go.

Pass as 53? That's his actual age.
Cannot stand the man never could way before Strictly. Very very very very very very happy he has gone. 
But I was surprised with his so called loyal fan base climbing mountains, swimming rivers to cross from the Irish Republic into Northern Ireland to vote he went so soon.

I'm very disappointed in the inability of his fans to keep him in the competition!
May they burn in hell for all eternity

Snap! I thought he and Kristina were lovely together. It was a good pairing by the producers but such a shame they didn't stay in.

LOL! I'm so relieved he's gone - he may be a saint but I found him uncomfortable to watch whether in interviews or dancing.

I totally bought Kristina's emotion last night. She's had a tough old time of it lately and Daniel's kind words just set her off.
I'll miss them.

OH yes!!! Then they will stop buying his crap records and he will retire.
