Earlier this year Danny awkwardly sulked after losing during an appearance on Celebrity MasterMind.

The actor joined fellow stars Josie d’Arby, Elizabeth Rizzini and Qasa Alom on the iconic BBC quiz show.

Danny took to the chair in a bid to raise money for his chosen charity, Once Upon a Smile, which helps people with bereavement support.

The soap star had 1.5 minutes to answer questions on his specialist subject – the life and works of writer and playwright, Julia Donaldson.

During his appearance he also had two minutes to answer as many general knowledge questions as possible.

Danny managed to score seven in the specialist round, and three in the general knowledge.

At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Danny was awarded 10 points, followed by Josie with 16 points.

Co-stars and famous friends were quick to share their congratulations 

Qasa was awarded 18 and Elizabeth was crowned winner of the show with an incredible 23 points. 

Danny looked very awkward with his hands crossed as he watched on. 

And those watching at home caught on.

One pointed out on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘#celebritymastermind The guy from Emmerdale. Sulking. Pathetic’; ‘#dannymiller couldn’t look more bored if he tried. #celebritymastermind is supposed to be fun.’

‘Danny Miiller – such a good sport. Not. #dannymiller #celebritymastermind,’ a third chimed in’; ‘#celebritymastermind How p**sed off was that Danny Miller bloke!!!’;
