Dan revealed his mishap with the Queen
The post comes just days before Dan is due to officially start his new presenting gig on Channel 5's 5 News. The dad-of-three will be fronting the news programme on weekdays from Monday 6 June at 5pm.
Dan announced the news of his departure from BBC Breakfast back in April and hosted his final show just over two weeks ago.
The BBC team marked his last day on the programme by taking a look back at his best moments and even invited special celebrity friends and colleagues to pay tribute to the star, including former BBC presenter Louise Minchin.

At the end of the show, Dan said an emotional goodbye to viewers. "Thank you for tuning in," he said. "Thank you for all the comments and the kind messages and the many lovely words over the years.
"Thank you for the support in loads of different things, including the dancing, and I think it's safe to say that I, and all of us, never ever take any of that for granted, the fact that people watch this programme and they enjoy it and they feel that it's a part of their lives."
