And the soap star had been contemplating a change of professional scenery before the Emmerdale bosses pipped him to the post.
"I had actually got to a point where I had been starting to think I needed a change to perhaps leave Emmerdale but I was struggling to have the bottle to make it," Fox shared.
And so, when the producers first told me about what was going to happen to Dan, my immediate reaction was 'this is brilliant'. I knew it would mean I would be working flat out so I wanted to put everything into it."
When asked whether he'd consider returning to the character, he said: "I would never say 'I am not going there again' because it's such a great place to work with great people. It might be quite interesting if Dan does come back in a few years to see how he is changed.
"But for now, it is important for Dan to serve time for what he has done."
