TV’s Dan regularly posts pics of him on the BBC Breakfast set.

This morning he shared photos of his former colleague Louise Minchin who was back on the show to talk about women’s health.

But it was a snap of the star’s leg which sent fans into a frenzy.

Showing a pic of his racy orange and red-striped socks, Dan captioned the post: “Morning.”

Another wrote: “I’m getting a Fruit Salad penny sweet vibe.”

There have been several rumours about why Dan made the choice to leave his coveted role.

However speaking to his co-host Sally Nugent earlier this month, he said: “Probably the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my career. Because I love you to bits and I love working with you.

“I’ve never ever been motivated by money in any job that I’ve ever taken and even though I love BBC Breakfast and everybody that works on the show, it’s a fantastic opportunity to work with a brilliant team at Channel 5.”
