'Hollyoaks' Danny Mac: 'I get Twitter marriage proposals'

Hollyoaks star Danny Mac has said that he has received marriage proposals on Twitter.

The young actor, who plays Mark 'Dodger' Savage on the Channel 4 soap, expressed his delight with the fanbase he has accumulated on the social networking site.

"People say they love Dodger, or that they think he's fit," he told Inside Soap. "I've even had a few marriage proposals, which is weird - I assume they weren't serious!"

Mac speculated that his online admirers are attracted to his Hollyoaks alter ego's bad boy status, which he insisted is a little different to his own personality.

"I'd definitely say that there's a little bit of me in Dodger. But obviously I'd like to think that it's all of the good bits, rather than the bad bits!

"It's fun to go into work and say and do things that you never would in real life. And the viewers seem to like Dodger - most girls wouldn't date him, but can see his fun side."

Savage made his Hollyoaks debut alongside on-screen brother James Atherton back in April.
