BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker left his colleagues fairly amused on Wednesday morning after he admitted that he enjoys taking the bins out.The 45-year-old who is often open about his pursuits outside of his BBC role couldn't help but make the odd confession in front of his co-host Nina Warhurst and sports journalist John Watson.But his admission appeared to amuse Nina and John as they seemed perplexed that he would enjoy such a job.Talking about taking the bins outside, Nina questioned Dan and said: "Did you just it's one of your favourite jobs, why?" Dan replied: "I just love it!" Nina giggled: "Because it's short." The former Strictly star then explained that the job is similar to cutting the grass which he also finds satisfying.John chimed in and said: "I suppose it's an easy job for big reward, perhaps. You're doing your bit.

BBC Breakfast viewers have slammed Dan Walker's interviewing technique after he had a conversation with conservative MP Brandon Lewis which some thought was "too nice".The Breakfast presenter tackled the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on Tuesday morning's show and asked him about Boris Johnson's fine over partygate.Dan, 45, also questioned Brandon, 50, about Britain's ties with Rwanda and whether it was a good idea to send refugees to the African country.With viewers at home eager to know what Brandon had to say, the MP came across fairly unmoved and seemed to compare Boris' fines to parking tickets.But this certainly didn't sit well with spectators with some criticising Dan for not coming down on the MP hard enough.Taking to Twitter in their droves, fans shared their thoughts.One person wrote: "That was the worst political interview I’ve seen for a long time. Dan Walker didn’t interview Brandon Lewis he stroked his ego.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has been called out by fans for his Sunday roast lamb as some claimed it was undercooked.The 45-year-old took to his Instagram over the weekend to share a video of himself cutting into a juicy piece of lamb.Slicing into the meat, Dan could be heard saying: "And now the first incision."Captioning the clip, he wrote: "Big family gathering so we went for some Irish fillet as a special treat…"But although he appeared proud of his roast, many fans couldn't wait to mention that it may have needed a bit more time in the oven.Jumping straight into the comment section, eagle-eyed followers shared their thoughts.One person wrote: "That's still breathing, needs another 30 minutes."Another person said: "Sorry, too pink for me."A third penned: "Too raw for me I'm afraid, but hope you enjoyed it.""That’s still mooing! Looks lovely though," said oneBut others thought Dan's roast was spot on, with one person writing: "That looks absolutely amazing, we’re just about to carve a delicious leg of lamb."Meanwhile, another commented: "Irish fillet tastes the best (biased), looks perfectly cooked too."But this isn't the first time Dan has left fans divided with his culinary skills and choice of meals.In January, the star posted a picture of his wife's freshly prepared stew sandwich that some were unsure about.Dan took to Twitter to show off his spouse’s creation with the caption: “You can tell you’re married to a Yorkshire lass when she makes a he and hers stew sandwich with a bit ofHenderson’s Relish for an evening snack,” and signed off with a laughing emoji.The accompanying picture showed the Strictly Come Dancing star’s questionable dinner, which consisted of two slices of white bread, each with a dollop

BBC Breakfast on Sunday (April 17), with her co-star notably absent from the BBC studios.Regular viewers of the news programme will know that the show is usually fronted by two anchors, with the likes of Jon Kay, Roger Johnson, Victoria Derbyshire or Katherine Downes appearing alongside a colleague.The Sunday edition of the programme doesn't normally see the main anchors, Naga Munchetty, Charlie Stayt or Sally Nugent take their place on the sofa.However, as viewers tuned in on Easter Sunday (April 17), they were somewhat perplexed to see the sofa looking emptier than usual.
