On the set of Hollyoaks, Danny said “It’s been really fun, and all the crew here are so lovely and happy.
"I can’t wait to share it with you all. It’s ridiculous, in the best Hollyoaks way possible."
It comes after Liverpool-born performed Danny revealed they were once in the running for Eurovision.
"I would never say never. Fun fact for you – I was in the running for Eurovision many years ago. When there was still a television show to select the artist," Danny told Daily Star.
"We got down to a final however many, but we didn't make the TV show. I was so gutted at the time, so it would definitely be something I would not just consider, but jump at the chance to do. I would definitely do it."
Hollyoaks airs weeknights on Channel 4 at 6.30pm followed by first-look episodes on E4 at 7pm
