Zoe Ball penned: “Have an excellent last day Dan. It’ll be emotional.”

Jenni Falconer echoed: “Ah, end of an era. Have a great last day! Big love.”

His Strictly co-star Adam Peaty said: “Have a great one mate!”

And Sky Sports presenter Simon Thomas added: “Good luck mate. You’ve been brilliant.”
