The sports star previously played for the Gold Coast Suns and Carlton Football Club, before retiring and focusing his efforts on entertaining people on Instagram.
‘I played footy from when I was 13. I guess I started getting somewhat good,’ Daniel said on camera.
‘[I] got drafted to the GC (Gold Coast). The thing about footy is you’ve got to be able to get the ball, and I just couldn’t get the ball. So I got sacked.

‘I was lucky enough to get picked by Carlton and then they sacked me again,’ he added with a laugh.
‘It’s funny now, but I do feel bad for the footy clubs that picked me up.’
Despite his failed football career, Daniel believes he has what it takes to win the revamped Big Brother.
