Barrow's 'Fish and a rice cake guy' has gone from strength to strength since launching his own food brand four weeks ago, quite literally, as now he has formed a 'bromance' with none other than Giant from Gladiators.

Bodybuilder Danny Andrews, 34, famous for his appearance on BBC Three’s Baby Face Body Builders documentary at 16, hit it off with the 6ft 5" Jamie Christian at a Fitness expo last month.

Danny, who also owns a successful barbers in Preston, went viral after explaining his stringent diet for his upcoming Mr Cumbria bodybuilding competition in 2007.

In the clip, he explained: "Eight o'clock in the morning I'll have fish and a rice cake," he said, before going into further detail.

"At 10 o'clock, I'll have fish. At 12 o'clock, I'll have fish and a rice cake.

"At two o'clock, I'll have fish. At four o'clock - just before I train - I'll have fish and a rice cake. I'll train, I'll have me fish.

"I'll come home, have some more fish, with a rice cake, and then have some more fish before I go to bed."

He and Jamie bonded over Danny's new rice cakes as they trained together the next day at the Gladiator's own gym named the Giant's Lair in Nottingham.

In a video named 'At 10' O' Clock we trained push with a rice cake', which was uploaded to Jamie's own YouTube channel, the pair chatted whilst training together. 

Jamie, a IFBB professional bodybuilder himself, asked Danny's some pivotal questions such as who prescribed him his original diet for his competition. 

Danny explains he was only on that diet for five days and says: "That wasn't my whole diet, it changed around and then yeah, that was it.

"People think that's all I've been eating for the last 18 years - which isn't the case." 

Speaking to The Mail about his time training at the Gladiator's gym, Danny said: "It was non-stop laughs and a lot of banter - it was a real 'bromance'.

"He's just as you see on TV - he's like a big friendly giant.

"His gym is rammed with such great equipment and we smashed chest, shoulders and triceps.

"He absolutely loves my rice cakes, which I'm buzzing about as if they're good enough for a Gladiator, they're good enough for anyone."

The pair plan to train again together and to upload more content in the future.

In the four weeks since Danny launched his own rice cakes, he's gone from strength to strength, quite literally, and has recently filmed advert for Tesco.
