Dan Walker was hilariously mocked by fans after making an X-rated typo in a Saturday morning tweet.

The TV personality, 45, made sure to correct himself after accidentally writing 'dogging' when promoting his new Channel 5 show, Digging for Treasure.

Posing with his co-stars Michaela Strachan and Raksha Dave after the debut episode aired, he had written: 'Fantastic response to Dogging For Treasure last night and great figures!

'Thanks for watching and for the feedback. We are filming again today - with a little less clapping - and celebrating with a snack of choice.

'See you next Friday at 9 @michaelastracha @Raksha_Digs @dfttc5,' he concluded.

It was only two minutes later when he spotted the blunder, after being alerted by fans, and penned in a follow-up post, 'DIGGING DIGGING DIGGING,' followed by a trio of emojis covering their eyes.

In the show, Dan searches for hidden treasure with the help of metal detectorists, mudlarks, and marine archaeologists. 

His followers had been joking in the comments section, 'Can you let us know in which car park the next Dogging for Treasure is being filmed?'

A second added: 'Gosh Dan, is there anything else you'd like to share love.'

'Thank god Twitter doesn't have an edit button,' a third wrote.

TV presenter Max Rushden quipped: 'A tremendous typo, or a really new departure for @danwalker here x'.

It comes after Dan revealed his early starts are 'annoying' his wife and family.

The broadcaster anchored the BBC breakfast show for six years which require d him to wake up at 3am.

He began presenting 5 News on Channel 5 earlier this month alongside Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije, 43, yet admitted his body clock hasn't yet adjusted to allow him to enjoy lie ins.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant admitted he's still an early riser, joking on Monday that he recently irritated his wife Sarah by 'cleaning the garage out at 6 o'clock in the morning'.

During an appearance on Loose Women, he said: 'I'm still waking up and getting up quite early but my old life used to be 3 o'clock alarm call, so I'm still getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning.

'I think I'm annoying my wife and family at the minute because I find I've got so much more energy. I was cleaning the garage out at 6 o'clock in the morning.

'I never minded getting up at three because I felt I was getting a head start on everybody else so I've always got up early, I've never really slept that much.

'Once I get up, I just crack on.'
