I haven't seen Dan in anything at all at the start of this series and I'd already written him off as a an early leaver due to Nadiya's other partners.
However, I have never seen Nadiya so smiling and animated with her other celebs as she is with Dan, and I enjoy their partnership. I have given my votes to him as I'd like to see him develop as a dancer but I know realistically he doesn't have much longer left.
