The Noisettes, has recently revealed that the group nearly split last year due to his urequited love for lead singer Shingai Shoniwa.

Dan told The Daily Record: "We've had a few rough patches. We've known one another for 12 years and we're like brothers and sisters. But stuff nearly came between us. We had a dysfunctional love affair that never came to fruition. I really fancied the s*** out of her. It's always been one of those weird Romeo and Juliet things where they never actually have each other and they both die.

“Me and Shingai made up and the moment that kind of sums it up is when we do our things on stage and I think 'How could I throw away that?”
