The 38-year-old actor - who runs charity Once Upon a Smile with 'Emmerdale' star Danny Miller - has joined the cast of the ITV soap as PC Brody, and he will make his cobbles debut on Monday (26.07.21).
Daniel - who starred as Billy Parker in 'Hollyoaks' and has appeared in 'Emmerdale', 'Doctors' and 'Casualty' - wrote on Twitter: "Words out.

Daniel's policeman character will be part of a racism plot after he arrests James Bailey, who is played by Nathan Graham.
Away from Weatherfield, Daniel is pals with Danny, who raised more than £30,000 for their charity last year when he took part in a 40-mile walk from Manchester to Liverpool.
Dales star Danny - who portrays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap - trekked from Manchester to Anfield, the home of his beloved Liverpool FC, in July 2020 to raise money for the charity.
After completing the walk, he wrote on Twitter: "Cannot thank everyone enough. I’m an emotional mess."
Earlier that morning, Danny admitted his "biggest injury" from the walk was "swollen eyes" after he had cried so much at people's generosity.
He tweeted: "Swollen eyes is my biggest injury. Just cried and cried last night at so many of your beautiful support, donations and generosity (sic)"
Danny and Daniel co-founded the charity - which provides emotional and practical support for bereaved families - in 2011, after they realised there was a lack of support for families following the death of a loved one.
