Day's name has become almost synonymous with short-lived tabloid fame. He has also had many celebrity partners, including Anna Friel and Suzanne Shaw, formerly of pop band Hear'Say.

He has also been linked in the tabloids to taking drugs, including 2Mpounds on cocaine. This has overshadowed his not always remarkable performing career.Engagements
Day's record of marriage proposals makes him a target for the tabloids, and they often brand him a "love cheat". Here is a list of his known engagements:
- Anna Friel, actress when she was 21. Day ended the engagement in 1997, saying he was too old for her.
- Tracy Shaw, actress. Day started the relationship before ending his relationship with Friel, and supposedly used the same engagement ring for both announcements. Shaw fell into a deep and depressive state, including a high level of cocaine consumption, as a result of her relationship with Day
