Dan admitted to ‘crying’ in the toilets during BBC Breakfast role
During an appearance on This Morning in 2024, Dan told hosts Josie Gibson and Dermot O’Leary that he used to set his alarm for 3am for BBC Breakfast.
“By Wednesday I was, like, full zombie mode. And also you get really emotional. By Wednesday I was like, end of the show, you are like, in the toilets just crying,” Dan explained.
“Anything sets you off. Someone says something nice about your trousers and you are like, [fake cries].”
Josie asked Dan if he would cry in the toilets on a daily basis, to which Dan stated: “Well, not every day.”
Dan admitted that when you get “sleep deprived,” you get a “little bit emotional”.
