A screenshot of the photo has been widely circulated on social media, with users expressing their shock at just how tall Daniel is.

Standing at an impressive 6ft2in (1.88m), he clearly overshadows his father, who stands at a more average 5ft8in (1.73m). One user humorously commented: "Gary Barlow's massive son is the reason twitter was made for." Another added: "Many parents at some point see one or more of their offspring grow up to be taller than them – but few can have experienced this so viscerally as."

And it wasn't the only pop culture reference made. "Gary Barlow's son is so big this photo is like the scene from Lord of the Rings when Gandalf is walking with the Hobbits," another follower wrote.

Some users have compared Daniel to a Viking warrior, with one user penning: "A vast Viking axeman – and to a songsmith born!
