“Actual tooth fell out on air this morning after a nasty altercation with some crunchy peanut butter @classicfm,” he posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“For clarity, is that a bit of the peanut butter or the tooth?” quipped one follower.
“Don’t forget to put it under your pillow tonight,” joked another.
Others praised Dan’s show and his professionalism, including one fan who commented: “And we were saying what a fabulous, joyous show it was this morning too! You carried it off so well.”
This isn’t the first gruesome picture Dan has shared, as he posted several graphic images after being hit by a car whilst on his bike in 2023.
“Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike. Face is a mess but I don’t think anything is broken. Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene. This is my smiling 😂 Thankful for our NHS ❤️,” he wrote at the time.
