The living room has a gorgeous pine tree, filled with glittery baubles, white fairy lights and red tinsel as well as a bright gold star on top. Other decorations included various wreaths with holly branches and a wooden plaque bearing the lyrics of Silent Night.

Dan has previously opened up about his wife Sarah, and her concerns that his role on BBC Breakfast would affect the family. "She thought it was going to be a disaster, me getting up that early, turning into a zombie," he told The Mirror. "We've got a dog and three kids, so if I slammed the door at 3.30am saying, 'Bye everyone,' it wouldn't work."

However, since taking on the role, Dan has been able to spend more time with his loved ones. "One of the major reasons I took the job is it gives me more time at home," he added. "Most days I can be home by 11am, which means I can do the school run."
