Dan Walker Twitter: BBC Breakfast presenter responds after being slammed as ‘BANAL’


Dan Walker, 42, shared a post from someone on Twitter this week, who seemingly appeared to want to be initiated into the television presenters so-called “Egg Club”. On the micro-blogging site, the user tweeted: “Mr Dan Walker how about my wife Sue’s offering. Basic. No frills. On point #eggclub and tasty.” The message came complete with a picture of two fried eggs on toast, with the BBC Breakfast presenter appraising the morning dish. Adding a light-hearted checklist that had not be stuck to, Dan wrote in view of is 559,000 followers: “Camera angle, butter pooling, pepper dispersal, significant crumble (upper quadrant), rogue egg lump on the coastal crease.

“Banned from #EggClub applications for 168 days.”

He seemingly appeared unimpressed with the person’s breakfast offering, but it was another user who then took aim at Dan for his “boring” updates.

The person in question wrote: “Thus is very banal stuff.”(sic)

Dan cheekily hit back at them: “Enjoying your use of ‘thus’ and the rogue Capital letter on banal. Tremendous work.”

The comeback comes after the BBC favourite recently revealed he gets bombarded with photos of breakfasts every weekend.

In a recent interview on the Series Linked TV podcast, he explained: “It started as a stupid daft thing, I don’t know quite know how it developed but essentially somebody asked me for a cook book for a ‘perfect egg recipe’.

“And I told them I’d been perfecting it for years. It sort of involves me rolling the egg around in the shell in a shallow pan.

“Then, cracking it back into that shell and timing it for a specific amount of time. With no vinegar, no oil, no nothing. Then you get the perfect egg. And then I put this on Twitter foolishly.”

The presenter revealed his Twitter feed is now swamped with snaps of perfectly cooked eggs, as social media fans scramble to be good enough to get into the “Club.”

Dan said: “And then all of a sudden people started sending me their eggs, that they were cooking every Saturday and Sunday. And then I thought, I’ll just be a bit daft and say ‘No, no access to egg club, that’s rubbish, toast is over cooked’, or ‘too much butter’.

“And then people started getting angry that I wasn’t letting them in the Egg Club. And then, I let somebody in and it just sort of snowballed. And most weekends I get about 300 egg pictures sent to me, with people saying ‘Can I get into Egg Club?’.”

Even today, fans flocked to the father-of-two’s social media page, with some admitting the rules to get into his “Egg Club” were becoming “draconian”.

One person tweeted: “You really are the [Craig] Revel Horwood of the Breakfast Egg world.”

Another person commented: “The criteria for rejection appears to be getting more and more draconian.”

While a third added: “Might start an #InclusiveEggClub Eggs of all types are admitted and loved for who they are, even those on pooled butter. No more discrimination over eggs!”

BBC Breakfast continues Monday on BBC One at 6am.
