As a push to get the public to send in their photographs for a special segment on growing up on Tuesday’s show, Dan released the image of him as a youngster. Dan can be seen grinning away, wearing a chequered shirt and striped cardigan. However, Dan didn’t seem to overly impressed with the state of his hair.
Dan has recently been embroiled in various Twitter spats.
Last week, he replied to a tweet from Leeds United football club.
Derby County lost in the Championship Playoff Final on Monday and following their loss, Leeds poked fun at the Midlands club.
Following that tweet, Dan replied with a vomit emoji.
After Dan’s tweet, a Leeds fan quickly responded: “I think the ‘banter’ should be left to the fans, but you’ve made yourself look very biased by only calling out one team.”
Dan replied with a fairly balanced response saying that Leeds’ original tweet was a “little below the belt”.
Dan first took his place on the BBC Breakfast sofa as one of the main presenters after Bill Turnbull, 63, announced he was leaving following 15 years on the show.
His BBC Breakfast co-host is Louise Minchin.
In a recent interview with The Daily Mirror, Dan and Louise spoke out about their friendship.
Louise has claimed that they regularly help each other out of tight spots on air.
She said: “I think we’re both team players.
“And so many times Dan gets me out of trouble or I get him out of trouble.”
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.
