Barrow's Fish and Rice Cake guy remains in high spirits after he was rejected by Coronation Street star Helen Flanagan on Channel 4's Celebs Go Dating.

Bodybuilder Danny Andrews, 34, went viral after his appearance on BBC Three’s Baby Face Body Builders documentary in 2007 when he was 16.

A clip of Danny explaining his stringent diet for the upcoming Mr Cumbria bodybuilding competition became an internet sensation.

Danny, who now runs a successful barber in Preston, has previously explained to The Mail that it is only in recent years that he has embraced the attention.

It was when people started to realise how much he had changed since the clip that his attitude towards it began to change.

In a recent episode of the E4 dating show Celebs Go Dating, he brought one as a gift for the former Coronation Street star.

"Oh my God, what is this?" said Helen in reaction.

"So I bought you a present," Danny said. "When I was sixteen, I was on a bodybuilding documentary.

"And there was a clip where I say, 'Eight o' clock in the morning, I'll have fish and a rice cake, and then I have some more fish and a rice cake.

"And then I come across really thick on it and it went viral."

Helen then had moment of realisation and said :" "You're that guy?! I've watched that! That's so funny!"

She later explained to producers she couldn't go out with a 'meme' so she was afraid it was a 'no.'

"I should've taken my rice cake back," joked Danny. "In all seriousness, those shows are fun and they're entertaining so I don't take it too personally and think she buzzed me for being a minger.

"The most important thing is, she tried the rice cake and I did the show on the condition I could take my rice cake.

"Appearances like this are really fun and they offer great opportunities and you get to meet some great people."
