    TalkSPORT breakfast presenter Woods was moved by his story and shared it on air.
    She said: “[Dan] is a massive Palace and football fanatic. And he’s been doing this social media stuff since about 2011. And he’s always kept his identity completely silent.
    “When he was younger I think he wanted, like most people, to be a footballer. He couldn’t do it because he realised really quickly that his disability wouldn’t allow him to do that.

    “Yesterday he revealed his identity – ‘my name is Dan and I have cerebral palsy.'”

    Woods said: “Ally, it’s social media. Everything happens on there.
    “Why did I want to share his story? It made me feel a certain way. It made me feel shocked and a bit guilty because I didn’t know.
    “And it also made me feel sad that someone would want to hide a part of themselves away, especially something like a disability.
    “And then I read the comments underneath and I found them so uplifting.”

    Topless Lewis Hamilton shows off ripped body as Mercedes star bulks up for 2023 F1 season

    In his downtime in the off-season, Hamilton swapped the white hot atmosphere of F1 for far more chilly surroundings.
    He shared pictures down in Antarctica of him going for an 11-kilometre run as he celebrated his 38th birthday.
    And he didn’t waste the chance to capture some of the sights either, including penguins, a seal and an old whaling facility – with the Brit saying he was “thankful” it was no longer in operation.
    But taking to his Instagram story, Hamilton showed off a chiselled figure with the countdown for F1 testing – set to start on February 23 in Bahrain – well underway.
    READ MORE IN F1
    He has previously opened up on the huge demands F1 has on his body, including significant dietary requirements and his body weight changing by up to HALF A STONE in a single week.
    However, on track in 2023, Hamilton is looking to bounce back to once again challenge two-time champion Max Verstappen for the title – something Mercedes team-mate George Russell believes them both to be capable of.
    This being said, Hamilton has one year left on his deal with Mercedes and has hinted at the possibility of retirement owing to there being “other things” he wants to do.
    He said: “Sometimes you wake up and have this feeling: I don’t want to do this anymore.

    “And sometimes you wake up and think: I can still do other things my whole life, there is definitely more I want to achieve.”
    One major project Hamilton is a part of is the launch of a new film and TV company.
    It already has a few ideas in the pipeline, including a documentary on Hamilton’s life and an unnamed F1 movie set to star Brad Pitt.
