Rate My Takeaway host Danny Malin has announced he's in a new relationship, 22 months after his fiancé tragically died from a heart attack, leaving him as a single father to three boys.
Danny took to social media to tell his adoring fans of the happy news and shared a picture of himself and new girlfriend Sophie. Ever since Carrie Taylor, 40, died in February 2021, Danny assumed he'd just live out his days as a single-dad, just focusing on what's best for his children.
But that all changed when he met Sophie, whose full name hasn't been disclosed, eight weeks ago through work. As romance blossomed, they met more and more for coffees and enjoyed each other's company. She made him "laugh and giggle" and has been "supportive and understanding" of his family's situation.

Taking to Facebook, Danny said: "As many of you may know Carrie passed away nearly 22 months ago which blew mine and the kids world apart. Every day since then I have just focused on doing what is best for my family and to be honest thought I would just live out my days as a single dad.
"But around eight weeks ago I met someone who over this period of time has made me laugh giggle and enjoy life again meeting Sophie was to do with work and from then we met for coffees chatted and just enjoy others company.
"I am happy to say we are now in a relationship and I would like to thank Sophie for not only showing me that there is happiness again but also being so supportive and understanding about our family situation. I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds fun love and sparkles x"
