Channel 5 star Dan Walker once revealed he was stopped from entering the network’s offices.
Newsreader Dan, 47, shared how he was ‘banned’ from entering with his social media followers.
And Dan, who was then a relative newcomer to Channel 5, admitted it was a “low” moment.
The former BBC Breakfast host told his 276,000 followers the issue came about after a security guard didn’t realise who he was.
Dan Walker on Channel 5 entrance ‘blunder’
Uploading a snap showing him alongside Arsenal footballer Leah Williamson and a relative of hers, Dan explained how the mistake came about.
He wrote in the post’s caption: “High and low of the week in one evening…
“The amazing @leahwilliamsonn asked for a photo for her and her gran, Berny.
“Three hours later, the overnight security guard at the building I work in wouldn’t let me in because he didn’t have a clue who I was.”
Dan added a crying laughing emoji to his words to make it clear he was amused by the awkward moment.
How fans reacted
Many of his followers were also suitably tickled by the anecdote, including fellow celeb Ulrika Jonsson.
She recalled experiencing a similar moment herself where she’d been ‘banned’ from a building too.
Ulrika replied: “Hahahaha, I wasn’t allowed into the after party of Eurovision 1998 – which I’d hosted. Because I didn’t have ID on me.”
And Dan responded to her comment with another laughing emoji, adding: “Crazy talk.”
Others joked Dan should have asserted his celebrity credentials.
Did you say: ‘Don’t you know who I am?’
“Did you say: ‘Don’t you know who I am?'” one chuckled.
“That’s Channel 5 viewing figures for you,” joked another person.
And someone else chipped in: “Clearly not a Strictly fan…”
