Speaking on the first episode of Married At First sight, Daniel said: “Gay marriage has only been legalised very recently in Northern Ireland, which is absolutely shocking.

"And, now that I can share my relationship with the world, I find that so important."

The pair were an instant hit with each other, and on the show's final episode, they decided to stay together.

What is Daniel doing now?

Speaking about life after the show, Daniel told in July 2022: "[The show] was a real whirlwind adventure. I went in with true intentions to find someone who I could spend the rest of my life with and lo and behold, it worked out just as I hoped, if not better.

"The whole process was really one of complete awe and it was inspiring to be part of it.

"I made friends from the journey and obviously I met my now husband Matthew who also lives in Portstewart with me.

"He moved over from Leeds to live here on the Causeway Coast and we run Wildbay Retreats together.

"It is my business but Matthew is a big part of it. He is a force within the business definitely.

"[They are] all-inclusive wellness meditation retreats... It's an opportunity for people to come together and to experience, learn and implement techniques to allow them to have some inner calm and peace."
