He wrote in view of his 283,000 followers: “It was a real pleasure to host the @royaltelevisionsociety journalism awards last night in London.
Commenting on the bright blue background of the red carpet snaps, Dan quipped that the event looked more like an awards show for magicians.
“PS anyone else think the curtain makes it look a little bit like ‘Magician Of The Year’ awards?”
Dan even went as far as coordinating his outfit with the curtain, looking dapper in a blue tuxedo.
Prior to the event, Dan took to Instagram once again to praise his makeup artist for making him look presentable.
The star shared a mirror selfie in an elevator while showing off his “new man bag” and “tux at the ready”.
He penned: “Thanks @alliedrewmua for covering up the bruises for the @royaltelevisionsociety awards.”
It comes after Dan told fans his face is “coming on nicely” after the bike accident left him covered in blood.
The journalist shared the update after taking his pet pooch Winnie for a walk and a haircut, sharing a selfie that showed the bruising on his face had gone down.
