Dan Walker was left red-faced after being rejected by Carol Kirkwood live on-air.The star was presenting the show alongside co-host Sally Nugent on Wednesday (April 27) when he boldly asked if the weather presenter fancied going on a date to the snooker.It came after he had almost bored his wife to sleep on the same romantic getaway.Things all kicked off when Dan was keenly discussing the ongoing World Snooker Championships at the Crucible in Sheffield with sports correspondent John Watson, explaining that the event - in his home town of Sheffield - brings in the crowds.He gushed: "I love it when the snooker’s in Sheffield, because as a resident there’s a nice little buzz about the place."Lots of people come and visit every year, and you can see there’s a bit more activity in the park and stuff like that, a bit more buzz around the town centre. There’s just a buzz around the Crucible."John agreed of snooker fans: "They’re a dedicated bunch aren’t they? I think they will travel far and wide - and as far as the big events are concerned, it doesn’t get much bigger than that, does it?"The Crucible is the home - you’re talking Wimbledon, that’s the heart of it isn’t it?"But it turns out Mrs Walker isn't quite as diehard a fan as her husband, as Dan confessed: "I took my wife and one of her friends - who’s not that much into snooker - a few years ago."It was Peter Ebdon and Matthew Stevens, and the first frame we sat through was the longest frame in Crucible history...

Very bad, right?"Always supportive of her Breakfast co-star, Sally teased: "What? Did you do something wrong?", making Dan chuckle.But things didn't stop there.Dan explained: "But a motorist who filmed himself driving on the Autobahn in Germany didn't receive any sort of sanction from the police - now you can go whatever speed you like on the Autobahn, but you've got to make sure that it's not dangerous."He was going 257 miles per hour.

BBC Breakfast had a major format shake-up this week, as the famous red sofa relocated to Cornwall.The show is filmed at MediaCity in Salford, Greater Manchester - but it was all change on Tuesday (April 26), as the couch found itself in St Austell for a very poignant tribute to a war hero.With Dan Walker and Sally Nugent presenting the show from the studio, it was up to Sally's occasional co-host Jon Kay to front the Cornwall end of the programme, as show bosses shipped a replica of the couch out to the harbour.It comes as the programme marks the tragic death of D-Day veteran Harry Billinge, who died earlier this month after tirelessly fundraising for a war memorial.He had previously appeared on Breakfast for a special Normandy segment, and made quite the impression on its cast and crew.But fans were stunned to see Dan and Jon interact on the programme, as the pair rarely cross paths.Jon tends to stand in for Dan during holidays or periods of absence, and so is used to sitting alongside the likes of Sally Nugent and Nina Warhurst on the show.Sally began the segment by saying: "Now, today we say goodbye to Harry Billinge, the D-Day veteran and friend of this programme, who died earlier this month aged 96."Dan explained: "His funeral is going to take place in his hometown of St Austell in Cornwall - Jon Kay is there for us today and we'll say good morning to Jon. It's a sad day, Jon, isn't it, but also a chance to celebrate what was an incredible life."Jon replied: "Absolutely - that is precisely the tone that people here are hoping for today, Dan and Sally."In the sun-dappled morning light, the couch could be seen at the edge of the harbour, with the path to get there temporarily blocked off by cordons.
