In March 2017, Brian announced he had relocated from Ireland to Danielle’s hometown of Rochdale, Greater Manchester, as the couple’s relationship got more serious.
He told the Manchester Evening News: ‘We met in Manchester through mutual friends and at the moment it’s my first home. I’m in Rochdale all the time now.
‘It’s perfect for me because I’m a Manchester United supporter and I enjoy playing golf in Manchester. It isn’t my first time in Manchester but I had never been to Rochdale before.’
