The presenter showed off the new studio on Monday while presenting Match of the Day. Dan, clad in beige jeans and a casual black t-shirt, sat back on a crescent sofa and boasted about the “snazzy new set”. He gave viewers a walkthrough of the green screen technology used which he described as “incredibly snazzy”.

Last month, he was lambasted after an interview with the Health Secretary Matt Hancock on BBC Breakfast.
He thanked Mr Hancock for his time as Health Secretary and said: “It will be good to get you back when you have those social care plans.”

Dan replied to the fan: “Just not true David.
