Former BBC Breakfast presenter and Strictly Come Dancing star Dan Walker ended up changing his shirt for a chat show appearance after an outfit blunder was inadvertently pointed out. The 5 News host switched shirts after he almost wore the same one he sported the last time he was on the ITV show Loose Women.
It was only when he clocked a message, welcoming him to Tuesday afternoon's show, with a photo from his previous appearance that he realised his error. They shared a close-up of Dan in a blue denim-style shirt and wrote: "TV host @mrdanwalker joins us live in the studio to tell us about the launch of his new TV show."
Dan openly admitted that he had been going to wear the very same shirt as he shared their message with his 801,800 followers: "See you later… thanks for the picture… I was going to wear that shirt again but I’ll grab another one," he wrote with laughing emojis. And Loose Women also replied with a laughing emoji, adding: "See you soon!"

Dan looked on great form as he appeared on the show following a serious bike crash last month in Sheffield and he updated about his health. He told the Loose Women panel: "I still can't feel part of my lip and I've got a bit of a lump on my hip."
He added that one of his teeth might have to be removed over concerns. "I might have to have this tooth out because they're slightly concerned that I might have lost blood supply," he said.
He added: "I'm really thankful that I haven't brken any bones, I'm still here and I went back on a bike about 10 days ago." Dan discussed his new Channel 5 show Vanished.
Vanished, which aims to find people who have gone missing in the UK with a live incident room, followed his one-off documentary in February about the search for Nicola Bulley before her body was eventually found in the River Wyre. Dan, who interviewed her partner Paul Ansell for the documentary, told the panel that Nicola's family had given their seal of approval to the new series.
"I've been in contact with the family and they're really happy that we're doing this programme now because they don't want anyone to go through the tragedy that they've been through," he explained. "We're just trying to shine a light on some of the thousands of cases. Imagine in your family for whatever reason someone has just disappeared."
Asked about a concern over a rising number of 'armchair detectives', Dan admitted that was a concern, but said: "We're trying to do it really responsibly." He added: "We are looking for facts for those families."
