Dorris is the latest furry friend to join Daniel’s clan, as the soap star is a proud dog dad to two other pups.
In 2019, Daniel revealed on social media that he had ‘a new man in his life’, after adopting an adorable rescue dog called Colin.
Daniel adopted the then-four-month old pup who was being cared for at Dogs Trust Manchester after being illegally smuggled into the UK, saying in a Twitter post: “I have a new man in my life. Peeps, please may I introduce you to Colin.
“A huge thank you to Dogs Trust for all your help & guidance. Adopt & give them their forever home.”
He then announced in 2020 that he had adopted a second dog called Jean in 2020.
