BBC's Dan Walker calls out Sara Davies as her 'tattoo' photo causes April Fool confusion

Dan Walker was quick to call out Sara Davies for springing an April Fool on her fans after the Dragons Den star posted a photo of her getting a tattoo which some celebrity pals fell for.

BBC Breakfast host Dan starred alongside County Durham born entrepreneur Sara in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing last year, with the two becoming good friends during their time on the show. Like plenty of other stars, Sara used the date on the calendar on Friday as an excuse to stage a social media stunt.

Following in the footsteps of Ant and Dec and GMB's Laura Tobin, Crafters Companion founder Sara posted a photo of her in the chair at Gentleman Jim's tattoo parlour in Newton Aycliffe, getting an inking which read 'Crafting Queen.' Clearly some of her celebrity pals were taken in or were in on the act as a number replied to say how good it looked.

Strictly pro Nikita Kuzmin, who joined Sara on the recent live tour, replied: "Yess Sara! Come on!" Another Strictly dancer, Neil Jones, told her: "That’s brilliant."

However, not fooled at all, Dan commented: "What day is it again?" Trying to convince him otherwise, Sara responded: " it’s tattoo day Dan man!"

Sara posted the tattoo photo on her Instgram (Instagram)

Like Dan, many of Sara's followers weren't caught out, with one telling her: "Happy April’s fools Sara," and another reacting: "Thank the lord it’s April 1st."

As well as appearing in the latest series of Dragons Den, Sara has been getting plenty of praise from BBC viewers for her stint as host on daytime programme Morning Live.
