The Prize Paradise creator said: "We are just about to do the live draw but this is something I really need to address.
"I've been sent this a load of times now but theres a guy with a profile on Twitter - his profile is using my pictures as if it's him.
"He's putting disgusting, racist, vile horrible things up that I don't even want to put up on my page."
After urging followers with a Twitter page to go on their profiles and block the offender, Dan added: "He's using my pictures and I don't want a picture of me anywhere near that scumbag."

Following the England football team's devastating Euro 2020 Final defeat against Italy on Sunday, the most saddening outcome was the sickening racist comments of some, posted on social media and directed to the Three Lions' penalty-takers.
Dan's experience comes shortly after Boris Johnson, Harry Kane, Gareth Southgate and Prince William blasted the vile individuals who targeted Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho after their misses.
The Royal - who was at Sunday's game with wife Kate and son George - said he's "sickened" at the disgusting trolls.
And Gareth Southgate has told journalists the attacks are "unforgiveable" - and it's "just not what we stand for".
The Duke of Cambridge, who serves as president of The FA, tweeted: "I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night’s match.
"It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour.
"It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable. W."
APPALLING ABUSE
After the loss, racist morons began attacking three of the team's black players with monkey emojis and vile abuse.
Boris Johnson is among those to condemn the sick jibes.
"This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media," he said.
"Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves."
The Met Police has vowed to launch a probe.
MET POLICE PROBE
The force said: "We are aware of a number of offensive and racist social media comments being directed towards footballers following the Euro 2020 final.
"This abuse is totally unacceptable, it will not be tolerated and it will be investigated."
