The 40-year-old BBC favourite was joined by his co-host Louise Minchin, 49, as they took their places on the BBC Breakfast sofa to report today's headlines.
Dan opted for an eye-catching bright blue suit, looking particularly dapper, but it wasn't long before fans spotted something rather entertaining about his outfit.
Several took to Twitter to liken him to Only Fools and Horses' Trigger (played by Roger Lloyd Pack) in his startlingly colourful ensemble.
"Has Dan borrowed Trigger's suit?" one asked, while another attached a snap of the character, saying: "Dan is wearing Trigger's suit!"

Other fans were slightly kinder, with one commenting: "@MrDanWalker looks sharp this morning on #BBCBreakfast."
