Following the show, one Twitter user accused the BBC man of being “dismissive” of a cat which even his co-presenter picked up on. In his usual style, Dan responded to the man which as a result, descended into a Twitter spat. In response, Dan insisted that his response had been a “relevant question” but also revealed that he was a happy “the cat is safe”.
Finishing the tweet, Dan thanked the user for watching the programme which unfortunately for the BBC man drew the anger of another one of his many followers.
Attacking Dan, the user replied saying: “A sarcastic ‘thanks for watching’ you’re turning into Piers Morgan.
“You might as well have said ‘thanks for paying my wages, license payer’.
“Stay humble, Dan.”

Defending himself, however, Dan insisted fired back at the user saying: “Nothing sarcastic about it at all. You’re over-analysing.
“Genuinely thankful that people watch.”
Despite Dan’s reasoned response, the user didn’t believe that the BBC man wasn’t being sarcastic.
In response, however, Dan challenged the Twitter user and made an attempt to end the spat between the two.

Accompanied by a laughing emoji, Dan said: “This has now become a pointless conversation.
“You making assumptions about my intentions, me foolishly thinking you’re watching anything other than Paw Patrol.”
Dan’s spat was followed by the BBC man’s awkward Glastonbury comment.
The BBC Breakfast co-host sent Twitter into meltdown over his sensationalist comments over the zip on Brandon Flowers’ during his performance at the iconic music festival.

Dan tweeted at the time: “Brandon Flowers is rocking a killer suit at Glastonbury.
“He can even get away with the fact that he has a 2-foot zip on his trousers.”
Quickly one user asked if the BBC man would wear the outfit during the week which started off a serious of comments from Dan’s following.
