Now, just one week on, Twitter has revealed that it is rolling out an edit button.
To confirm the new plan, they wrote: “If you see an edited Tweet it’s because we’re testing out the edit button. This is happening and you’ll be okay.”
Dan quote-tweeted it and added: “Where on earth were you last week?” He also added another plug of the TV show as he chirped: “DIGGING for Treasure returns tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 5.”
Fans took the opportunity to laugh at Dan once again with one person writing: “You did give us all a good laugh though!”
