Emmerdale fans have mocked Dan for being "thick as mince" after the father-of-one got himself into more trouble.
Dan is facing legal trouble for punching Lloyd who he accused of "perving" on his daughter. When Dan initially punched Lloyd, nobody was around and nobody saw it.
But in a moment of panic, Dan grassed himself up when he told the police he hit Lloyd. He was arrested, but without any evidence available he was released on bail pending investigation.

While out on bail, he was overheard saying he didn't regret almost killing Lloyd and that he would do it again. Police visited him at his home and took him for additional questioning.
And while with the police, Dan kept tying himself in knots, eventually leaving his lawyer with his face in his palms. And Dan's actions have irritated fans, who sympathise with him but feel he won't stop getting himself in trouble.
