Danny’s fans quickly flooded the comments section with praise, as one person said: “Well done Danny you can really see a change. Happy Christmas to you and your lovely little Family.”

Another added: “All your hard work is definitely paying off can definitely see the changes.” A third chimed in: “Well done Danny, you should be really proud of yourself.”

Danny previously vowed to undergo a body transformation after he poked fun at himself in a video from 2024, with fans left in stitches at his ‘fat Wolverine’ jibe.


Bare-chested and sporting a thick beard, he filmed himself in the mirror while jesting about his current physical. He said: “So I just finished work for six weeks now. I’ve got six weeks off, which is good. It gives me the chance to do a six week transformation which I’ve seen trends..”

“As you can tell, I’ve let myself go a bit. My face is round, I’ve got about four or five chins, beard’s long, hair’s a mess, like a fat Wolverine, effectively, so no time like the present.”
