TV presenter Dan Walker has been forced to make an urgent correction to a tweet after making an X-rated mistake.
The 45-year-old hosted his new show Digging For Treasure last night alongside Michaela Strachan where viewers were introduced to metal detectorists, mudlarkers and marine archaeologists who made up the live audience and crew.

Realising he’d said ‘dogging’ not ‘digging’ the star rushed to correct his mistake
After the show aired Dan took to Twitter to thank fans for watching the show, but a mix up of words led him to issue an urgent correction.
Instead of Digging for Treasure, Dan called the show Dogging for Treasure, and said: “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.”
LITTLE PICKERS
Dan Walker and Michaela Strachan's new Digging show leaves viewers moaning
Realising he’d said ‘dogging’ not ‘digging’ the star rushed to correct his mistake and wrote: “DIGGING DIGGING DIGGIN,” followed by emojis with hands over their faces.
People were quick to jump into the comments to alert Dan to his mistake with playful responses, with one person writing: “We thought it was a programme about archaeology.
Comedian Richard Osman playfully responded and said: “Great to see you in a slit trench going at it with both hands on your tool. #DoggingForTreasure.”
Dan replied and said: “Stop it. Dogging is already trending. Career low point 
.”
The first episode showed the team in a field in Allerton, North Yorkshire, with former BBC Breakfast star Dan hosting from inside a tent and Michaela, 56, out in the field helping to dig up artifacts from the soil.
The show also featured a pre-recorded segment filmed off the coast of Cornwall with divers searching a ship wreck.
However the format baffled people watching at home who took to Twitter to say they felt short changed over the lack of explanation about each of the discoveries.
They also said they couldn’t understand the excitement coming from the tent.
One sniped on Twitter: “I have always thought archaelogy programmes needed constant, pointless rounds of applause and wild whooping rather than detailed historical analysis.”
Another commented: “Nope. Would usually keep watching but trying to ‘whoop up’ finding historic items and not giving any background. Why are we now going to the sea?!”
Some viewers were left confused by the show’s format
