Dan Walker, 42, uploaded a close-up photo of his face to share his problem with his 568,000 Twitter followers.
One of the BBC Breakfast star’s eyes were red, with his eyelid swollen and appeared heavy.
Dan revealed he had woken up like it and joked he may need to borrow Madonna’s eye-patch, which she debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 final, for tomorrow’s breakfast show.
He posted: “Woke up this morning with this beauty.
“Spending #FathersDay morning in a walk-in centre.”
He added: “Might have to borrow Madonna’s eye-patch for #BBCBreakfast tomorrow
#RedEyeOfDoom.”
Dan’s fans were sympathetic with his issue with many replying to his post, wishing him well.
One said: “Have you got conjunctivitis Dan, hope you are feeling better soon. X.”
Another said: “Ouch, that looks sore get to the chemist ASAP, and later enjoy Father’s Day.”
A third added: “Hope it’s sorted soon! I’m sure you’ll look better with an eye patch than Madonna!!”
