Dan has established himself as the peacemaker in the Big Brother house.

While the others bitched and brawled, Dan acted as mediator.

The 30-year-old gay hairdresser – nicknamed “Gandalf the Gay” by Victor – has earned a reputation as the sensible one of the house.

On the infamous “fight night”, Dan was the one who stepped in to separate Emma and Victor, carrying Emma off to the bedroom and attempting to calm her down.

But he has provided his share of entertaining moments too – particularly his flirting with Jason.

Dan entered the house declaring that he only fancied straight men.

He immediately set his sights on Jason and was soon rubbing oil into his buttocks – at the Scot muscleman’s request.

Straight-talking Dan has also kept viewers amused with his put-downs – branding Jason a “Scottish misery from hell” and telling him: “My God, darling, compared to you Macbeth was a breeze.”

Dan once claimed he didn’t want to win and said he would walk out if he made the final.

“It’s not the winner who’s often remembered. It’s not cool to win this show,” he said.

But despite his protestations he has made it through to the last four.

He has already had one shot at fame, singing in Hull electro-pop band iceHouse.

The dance group have performed on the same bill as Will Young, Atomic Kitten, Blue and Liberty X.
