"Thank you to everyone for voting for me - it is an awesome honour. It makes me feel alive," was the actor's response to the recognition.

His family added that they were "a bit overwhelmed" with the good news.

While Daniel is a star in his own right, fans of the drama may be surprised to learn that he is the son of 'Dirty Den' star Leslie Grantham, who starred in EastEnders between 1985 to 2005.
