Daniel joined Corrie in late 2014, with his character Billy Mayhew going on to have a romance with barman Sean Tully, before dumping him for Todd Grimshaw.
Rob publicly opened up about his sexuality for the first time earlier this year, stressing that he never planned to keep his sexuality a secret.
