BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker admits he's 'broken' as he reunites with Strictly partner

BBC Breakfast's Jon Kay took a step away from the norm this week as he revealed a rare detail about his family life.The presenter, who this week is standing in for Dan Walker, tends to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to his private life - and little is known about Jon away from the programme.But during a chat with his co-star Nina Warhurst - who replaced Sally Nugent on Wednesday (March 30) - it emerged that Jon actually has teenage children.The pair were reading through the papers of the day when Nina pointed to an article on social media, which revealed that plenty of young people have fake social media accounts to fool their parents.And she was quick to admit the news was "frightening", beginning: "I like this story, and I’m frightened of it.

BBC Breakfast fans were left baffled this week, as both regular presenters were replaced in a major show shake-up.On Wednesday (March 30), Sally Nugent was missing from the show, with Nina Warhurst stepping up to the red sofa in her place.Typically, Breakfast is presented by Dan Walker and Sally from Mondays to Wednesdays, while Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty take over the rest of the week.But her permanent co-star Dan has also been absent from Breakfast throughout the week - as he is busy taking some time off and improving his golf game. Temporary presenter Jon Kay was thankfully able to make it in his place.Sally, however, hasn't yet offered an explanation on social media as to why she wasn't on set on Wednesday.Fans were left confused by the replacement, and took to Twitter to share their confusion - and a lot of support for Nina.One wrote: "NINA! thank god going to enjoy Breakfast this morning, nothing against Jon, but miss DAN!"Someone else said: "Nina you're made for this job of morning presenter!""@BBCBreakfast you're a breath of fresh air this morning Nina," another keen fan added.This is a live TV story and is constantly being updated.Please refresh the page regularly to get the latest TV updates.TV & Showbiz reporters are working to source the latest information, reaction, pictures and video related to this story.

BBC Breakfast fans are demanding to know where Dan Walker is after he was replaced by Jon Kay in a major show shake-up.On Monday (March 28), permanent presenter Sally Nugent was joined by her temporary co-host Jon Kay on the red sofa to discuss the issues of the day, with headlines dominated by the 2022 Oscars.The ceremony was marred by Academy Award winner Will Smith storming the stage to smack Chris Rock in the face after he aimed a joke at Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith.But BBC viewers’ minds were elsewhere, as they wondered where Dan could have gotten to during his absence from the programme.Taking to Twitter, one fan was quick to slam the show as they posted: "Where is Dan Walker AGAIN!! It is getting as bad as ITV with no continuity. Tired of this attitude towards the programme."While another worried fan asked Dan: "Morning off Dan?"Despite his absence, Dan was there in spirit as he retweeted a clip from the programme’s Oscars segment with a row of wide-eyed blushing emojis.However, other than breaking his silence on the incident, Dan has remained very quiet on social media, with his last Instagram post coming five days ago.It comes after Dan stepped back into his dancing shoes for a charity event, the Rob Burrows Strictly Ball, to help combat Motor Neurone Disease.

Strictly Come Dancing.The presenter and host, 56, shared the revelation on her podcast Push Your Peak and has said she has not ruled out appearing on the programme following her recent reality TV stints since leaving BBC Breakfast.She has already taken part in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! at Gwyrch Castle in 2021, and has now hinted that she could follow in former BBC Breakfast co-host Dan Walker's shoes, who she cheered on in the previous series.Speaking on her recent podcast Push Your Peak with Strictly star Karen Hauer, 39, she said: "People say, 'are you ever going to do Strictly?"Although Louise said it was not on the cards at the moment - she has not ruled out a stint on the show - and said she can imagine how tough it is to take part.She said: "Because of what I've done with endurance sport I have an inclination of what that might feel like and I can imagine that it's sore, sore, sore."Louise also expressed her concerns about being in pain during the competition, to which Karen Hauer replied: "It is tough."I think that if anyone wants to do Strictly, as a professional or as a celebrity, your activity levels, your stamina, the way that your body is, has to be at a top peak."She added: "You can't come into Strictly cold."Especially for celebrities, for the people who are not used to doing what we're doing, they have to go to the gym."She concluded: "You have to go for runs. Getting movement into your body.

BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker has admitted that his “stomach folded in” ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing appearance.The 45-year-old was part of the competition in 2021 and a fan favourite throughout the series, placing 11th in the quarter finals with his partner Nadiya Bychkova.Walker spoke to Strictly FM’s Fred Morgan in an Instagram live broadcast and opened up on his initial apprehensions about the show.He said that he was nervous before the first episode, but didn’t allow nerves to get the better of him before he got a chance to strut his stuff.Dan said: “The most challenging thing for me, having been somebody who has always avoided a dance floor, I did feel a little bit uncomfortable and weird.”He recalled “filming in the tin foil tunnel” for the video tapes which gave him a “stomach-folding-in-on-itself feeling” and made him wish that he “wasn’t there,” because it was “all the things he hated about dancing”.Dan reassured Fred: “Over the weeks I became much more confident and I really enjoyed it. I think that came across.”The presenter said that his “proudest moment” was the fact that he remained in the competition for as long as he did, making it to the quarter finals unscathed.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has taken to Twitter to poke fun at a blunder from the show, which occurred during Nina Warhurst's live segment.The Strictly Come Dancing star, 45, had been speaking to his colleague Nina, who was on location in Liverpool, as he sat alongside his co-host Sally Nugent in the studio when the funny moment occurred.In view of his 752,500 followers, the BBC star posted a brief clip of the mishap going on behind Nina as she reported from a warehouse.He captioned the video: "When you’re caught playing Wordle at work live on #BBCBreakfast," he wrote alongside two laughing emojis and tagging his colleague Nina Warhurst.In the segment, Nina spoke to the duo about the rising inflation rate.She said: "Morning Sally, we said that we predicted inflation could go from 5.5 per cent in January to 5.9 per cent, possibly six per cent."The reality is here and it's higher than we expected, it's at 6.2 per cent."So that's the rate at which prices are increasing from February last year to February this year," she added.However, it was what was going on behind his colleague that interested Dan the most.A man in a high-vis vest could be seen checking his phone intently as Nina greeted her co-hosts.However, when he noticed he was on camera, he soon put his phone away before doing an elegant spin and marching out of the warehouse to escape the broadcast.Following the clip, BBC Breakfast fans took to the comments to weigh in on the humorous moment.Twitter user @IanP2302 wrote: "The spin on the heels is great."@gspatero simply penned: "Classic!""Busted", added @johnsmorton alongside two laughing emojis.While others took it more seriously.@opulenta replied: "It was hilarious, but joking aside, this is a big problem

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker sent a hilarious message to a gardener cutting grass during Carol Kirkwood's weather report.BBC weather expert Carol had been trying to deliver her weather report from the gorgeous gardens of St. James' Park in London on Tuesday (March 22) when her segment took a disastrous turn.Despite her best efforts to tell viewers all about what conditions they can expect from the day, Carol's live report began to dissolve as the picture became distorted and the audio became unclear.For the viewers at home, Carol's weather report was fragmented and they missed out vital parts of her beloved weather insights.Show hosts Dan Walker and Sally Nugent quickly spotted the technical gaffe as Dan could be heard saying: "Oh" in the background of the studio.Ever the professional, Carol still managed to make it to the end of her report regardless of the interruptions.However, if the technical issues hadn't been enough of a problem, the hosts had also noticed a loud lawnmower running in the background of Carol's broadcast - and they were quick to comment on it.At first, they thought it was a leafblower, but when Carol told them it was somebody cutting the grass, Dan jokingly told them to stop interrupting their BBC show.Sally said: "That is good to know, Carol.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker left one fan upset when he failed to mention his old co-star Louise Minchin in a chat about BBC hosts on Twitter.The disgruntled social media user asked Dan: "What about Louise Minchin?" before telling the former Strictly star they 'hadn't forgotten' about her.Dan had thanked another fan for saying him and his current co-host Sally Nugent was the "best presenter combination" on the hit morning show, which they present Monday to Wednesday from 6am.The viewer wrote: "There’s no doubt in my mind, @mrdanwalker and @sallynugent are the best presenter combination on @BBCBreakfast in a long time."Dan was grateful for the compliment and thanked the fan on the social media platform, writing: "Thanks for watching Matt."However, one user replied: "Hey what about @louiseminchin? I haven’t forgotten about her @mrdanwalker"Other fans were quick to point out Dan's former colleague Louise in response to the viewer's original tweet about Dan and Sally.One commented: "What about the lovely Louise Minchin? I thought she was ace!"A second said: "I think they are great but @louiseminchin was excellent."A third commented: "They are equally as awesome as @mrdanwalker and @louiseminchin were. "They chose a fabulous person to replace Louise in @sallynugent, the only fitting person for the job, love her!"Dan's good pal Louise left BBC Breakfast after almost 20 years on the red sofa - having first presented the BBC one show in 2001.She admitted she stayed on the show "much longer" than she was meant to as she loved working with Dan so much.On her last show in September, she told Dan: "Because of you I've stayed much longer than I was meant to," she said.

Sky Sports broadcaster Chris Kamara, has given a health update after being diagnosed with a thyroid condition.The news comes after viewers raised concern for his welfare on Saturday when they noticed the football favourite was slurring his words. Chris, 64, was covering Shrewsbury Town's League One trip to Rotherham on Saturday afternoon when he first sparked fears amongst Sky viewers.His slurred speech caused many fans to tweet and ask him if he was okay. The much-loved broadcaster and former pro midfielder subsequently took to Twitter to tell his 1.8 million followers that he was suffering from a new health condition that impedes his ability to talk.He wrote: “Just wanted to let a few of you know who tweeted me today that I am ok ish. “Alongside my Thyroid problem I have developed Apraxia of Speech and have been working to get my speech back to normal. “Some days it can be a little slow and some days it’s normal.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker has dropped a major hint he wants his co-star Sally Nugent to sign up for Strictly Come Dancing.The TV presenter made it all the way to the semi-finals on the last series of the BBC ballroom show with his pro dancing partner Nadiya Bychkova - losing out to winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.Now, it seems Dan wants his BBC co-star Sally to give Strictly a go, because he gave her his blessing live on their BBC Breakfast show.On Monday's broadcast (March 21), Dan told Sally he wanted to 'hand the Strictly baton over to her' - teasing she should do the hit dancing show next.Dan said: "I've got a bit of fun for you this morning.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker was trying to deliver a link on his hit morning show - but it all went wrong when he started giggling with co-star Sally Nugent.In fact, the BBC presenters were laughing so much in front of the cameras that Dan could barely finish his on-air segment, and former Strictly star Dan was forced to apologise to the viewers at home.It all started after a news segment on waste had played on Monday's broadcast (March 21), and Dan was ready to hand viewers over to his colleague for the latest news, travel and weather.It wasn't long before his segment took a rather amusing turn, though.Sitting on the famous TV red sofa, Dan turned to Sally and said of the segment: "It's fascinating that, isn't it?"However, smiling Sally already looked close to bursting out in fits of laughter, perhaps at one of Dan's cheeky quips during the segment that had just finished airing.Trying to stay professional, Dan started saying: "Time now to get the news, travel and the weather wherever you're watching..."He then started chuckling and couldn't stop, eventually apologising to his viewers for the blunder as he said: "Sorry!"Luckily, they were able to move viewers on to the next segment before it got any worse, because the lovable pair were still grinning when the cameras were panning away.Dan and Sally recently enjoyed a star-studded night out with their Breakfast colleagues and Dan's Strictly Come Dancing pals.Sally took to the Strictly dancefloor for the Rob Burrow Strictly Ball in a bid to raise money for the fight against Motor Neurone Disease.It saw Strictly partners Dan and Nadiya Bychkova reunite on the judging panel for the ball, and Nadiya even danced with with her co-star Kai Widdrington.Sally spoke about her

Dan Walker is one of Britain's most famous TV presenters, but the beloved BBC broadcaster has suffered a number of tragic moments during his years on the screen.The golf-loving TV star, 44, is best known for greeting the nation with the latest news on his BBC Breakfast show every Monday to Wednesday alongside his co-host Sally Nugent.The dad-of-three never turns away from a challenge either, because he took to the ballroom on Strictly Come Dancing last year as his pro partner Nadiya Bychkova taught him to dance, and he made it to the semi-finals.However, despite his buckets of showbiz success, Dan has been forced to battle through some testing times, from heartbreaking deaths to savage hospital stints.To celebrate Dan's 45th birthday today (March 19), Daily Star have taken a look at the BBC star's toughest moments.When Dan interviewed former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson on his Breakfast show, he left some of the hunk's fans fuming.In fact, the presenter revealed he was sent five online death threats after his infamous interview with the singer in February 2020.Dan said: "When I interviewed Louis Tomlinson, five people threatened to kill me – including one who said they were going to come over from Brazil."Louis accused Dan and his ex-colleague Louise Minchin of "proper going in" on him with their questions, and vowed never to appear on the morning show.At the start, they asked him about the deaths of his mother Johannah Deakin, who passed in 2016, and his sister Felicite, who died of an accidental drug overdose.They also asked about his feud with former bandmate Zayn Malik, after which he said: "God, you’re proper going in here today aren’t you?"He later said: "I’m just not ready to have that conversation yet and I

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker admitted he felt "totally broken" after reuniting with his Strictly Come Dancing partner Nadiya Bychkova. The pair reached the quarter-finals of the BBC dancing competition last year, with Dan fully embracing his new talent and forming a sweet bond with Nadiya.And the pair got back together on Friday (March 18) to prepare for yet another dancing competition - this time in aid of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).The event is dubbed the Rob Burrow Strictly Ball, run by Leeds Hospitals Charity, and aims to fundraise for a brand new centre for those with MND.Dan will both be performing and judging at the event.And with rehearsals fully underway, Dan has shared that he is "totally broken".Sharing a series of snaps alongside Nadiya in a rehearsal space, Dan got gradually more exhausted, at first posing alongside Nadiya with a beaming smile.But he could soon be seen lying face down on the floor next to Nadiya’s heels, as she struck a pose while standing on top of a velvet upholstered chair, looking none the worse for wear.Dan wrote: "The dance session with @nadiyabychkova followed a similar pattern to all our other ones…"Early excitement.
