He said there is "nothing but love and good energy between us."

In a post on Instagram, Daniel said: "As you all know, we have been on an incredible adventure together the last two years and we have given ourselves every opportunity to make things work as a couple, but over the last few months we have realised that we are actually better as friends.

"Break ups are never easy, even when amicable, but we can’t thank you enough for your support and kindness following our journey together.

"There’s nothing but love and good energy between us, and we feel very lucky to have found each other in our lives. Just sadly not as a couple! And although we are parting ways, we will always continue to support one another."
