BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker mocked by co-stars as he makes chore confession

THE One Show has been hit by over 100 complaints after Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens' anti-Boris Johnson rant - but the BBC have decided to stand by the actor. Dan, 39, appeared on the the evening programme earlier this month alongside alongside Derry Girls' Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Jamie-Lee O'Donnell.

BBC Breakfast's resident weathergirl Carol Kirkwood didn't hesitate to clap back at one fan who accused her of smiling too much on the popular breakfast programme.Carol is known for her sweet interactions with fans on social media and in real life, and she usually doesn't mind replying to keen followers who wish her the best for the day - along with sharing positive updates about the weather and what she's up to.And the 59-year-old didn't lose any of her regular poise as she firmly put one user right after a Twitter swipe.One Twitter user accused Carol of being too cheerful when announcing the lack of rain in the recent weather forecasts.Taking to the platform, they penned: "Why is @carolkirkwood on @BBCBreakfast smiling when she says there is no rain in the forecast…"@PeterWohlleben taught us that trees scream during drought - no smiling matter… Carol is not being unkind I am sure, but pls tell it like it is… desperate…"Carol quickly corrected them: "I am not smiling because there is no rain Simon!!! We need rain... I am well aware of that x".Wanting to clarify they hadn't meant any harm in the tweet, Simon, the original tweeter, told Carol: "Good to hear.

Dan Walker is due to leave BBC Breakfast after being offered a "rare opportunity" by Channel 5, but today former host Louise Minchin jokingly replaced him on the famous red sofa before his time was even up. Dan's Breakfast co-host Sally Nugent not only gave Louise the Strictly Come Dancing star's seat but pushed him out of the scene altogether."Just for old times sake, go on!" Louise joked on-screen as the cameras rolled."Hello and welcome to BBC Breakfast," Sally began, as if it was just another typical morning.Suddenly Dan appeared in the background behind them, quipping indignantly to Louise: "Erm..

BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood and Sally Nugent snapped 'are you awake?!' after TWO Dan Walker blunders. Today's show saw Dan, 44, admit he had stayed up late to watch the live sport last night, despite his early start for work.

Carol Kirkwood has shut down a BBC Breakfast viewer who took issue with the weather presenter's recent forecast.The meteorologist, who is a BBC favourite, swiftly hit back after she was questioned about her upbeat personality.The 59-year-old is known for her bubbly and friendly nature on BBC Breakfast since joining the team back in 1998 and has been a firm favourite among viewers for over two decades.A social media user has since questioned Carol's recent weather forecast but added they were sure she was not being "unkind".The person in question suggested she had been smiling after she said there would be no rain during Tuesday's episode.Simon Leadbeater wrote: "Why is @carolkirkwood on @BBCBreakfast smiling when she says there is no rain in the forecast… @PeterWohlleben taught us that trees scream during drought - no smiling matter… Carol is not being unkind I am sure, but pls tell it like it is… desperate…"(sic).The social media user made reference to Peter Wohlleben, a German forest scientist and author, who writes on ecological themes.The BBC Breakfast presenter hit back at the social media user as she rejected his claim.In view of her 227,800 followers, Carol replied: "I am not smiling because there is no rain Simon!!!

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...

BBC Breakfast's resident weather presenter Carol Kirkwood wasn't having any of her co-star Dan Walker's sleepy antics on the programme this week.On Wednesday (April 27), Dan made a rather epic name blunder while chatting to Carol ahead of her meteorological report - and was quickly put in his place.Carol was out reporting from an unusual London location rather than from the Breakfast studio when Dan admitted he wasn't fully awake yet, having stayed up late to catch the live sport the night before.He kicked the proceedings off by telling viewers: "Now Carol is out and about this morning, and she’s in a much greener Trafalgar scare- Square, even.

BBC Breakfast turned frosty as Sally Nugent was forced to scold Dan Walker in a tense speeding row.The pair were presenting together on the red sofa and discussing the top newspaper stories of the day on Wednesday (April 27) when Dan admitted he'd once broken the speed limit in a 50mph zone.It came amid a discussion about one Bugatti Chiron driver on Germany's Autobahn - a road without speed limits altogether - who travelled along the road at 257mph, but was deemed to be "not dangerous" by police.Dan kicked off the conversation by confessing: "Now I don't mind admitting that I once got a speeding thingie, I was going 56 in a 50. 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 star Dan Walker, 45, announced he would be leaving the early morning show after six years with the broadcaster.

Piers Morgan has asked one of his new TalkTV co-stars to find out why Boris Johnson intervened to get Donald Trump to cancel an interview with him. The former Good Morning Britain star launched his new show Piers Morgan Uncensored this week with a sit down with the former US President.

Lorraine (April 26) wearing a trouser suit because she "doesn't want to be judged for what she wears". Her appearance comes after a newspaper printed claims from an unnamed Conservative MP that she tries to distract Prime Minister Boris Johnson at The House of Commons' despatch box by crossing and uncrossing her legs, à la Sharon Stone 's character in the 1992 movie Basic Instinct.

BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood has taken to Twitter after a cheeky swipe from Dan Walker about her weather report. Todays show saw Dan presenting alongside Sally Nugent and after going over the days headlines, they started to check in with Carol for a weather update.

Boris Johnson. The MP even admitted she had chosen to wear trousers for her Tuesday (April 26) interview on ITV's Lorraine to avoid being "judged" any further.Labour's deputy leader also revealed she was left "fearful" and "really down" after an article in the Mail on Sunday claimed she distracted Boris at PMQs by crossing and uncrossing her legs, like in Sharon Stone's film Basic Instinct.It comes after House of Commons speaker Lindsay Hoyle summoned the Mail on Sunday's editor for a meeting over the "offensive" article.The article also quoted claims Angela, a comprehensive-educated MP, used the alleged tactic as she couldn't compete with Boris' Oxford debating skills.The story has been met with widely-spread condemnation, and Boris himself branded it "tripe".Speaking on Lorraine, Angela said she was fearful about the story andShe said: "I felt really fearful of the story coming out, thinking ‘that’s what people will think of me’.“And then actually the response from the public, from all political parties… has been to condemn it and I think that’s heartened me.”This is a live TV story and is being constantly updated.

BBC Breakfast viewers threatened to change channels in their droves as the presenters took a swipe at a rival network. Hosts Dan Walker and Sally Nugent were presenting from the famous red sofa on Tuesday (April 26) and discussing the recent misogyny controversy regarding an article written about Labour MP Angela Rayner.

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.

BBC Breakfast studio turned slightly chilly this week, as host Dan Walker suggested weather presenter Carol Kirkwood was surplus to requirements.He even suggested someone else take over in a rather cheeky swipe.Dan was hosting the show from the red sofa alongside Sally Nugent on Tuesday (April 26), when they tuned into a segment on the weather with Carol.Sally kicked things off by telling viewers: "It is 16 minutes past six," as Dan suggested: "Shall we find out what's happening with the weather?"Sally agreed: "Yes, it was a little bit cold getting in the car this morning!"Which is when things took a rather awkward turn, as Dan quipped: "Well, who needs Carol? There you go, Sally's just done the weather, Carol!"Thankfully the quip was met only with giggles from both Sally and Carol, who replied: "And very well, might I add!" before launching into her own - slightly more detailed - weather report.She added: "Sally's quite right, it is a cold start to the day - and for some of us, it is a frosty one as well."And it was clear there were no hard feelings, as Dan told Carol when her report came to an end: "I much preferred your weather to Sally's very short weather, Carol.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker, 45, is making his debut on a new show after news of his exit from the popular programme was announced earlier this month.The presenter seems to still be on good terms with his soon-to-be-former employer, however, as he is set to appear in BBC series The Wheel. Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, is a game show hosted by the comedian and broadcasted on Saturday evenings on BBC One. Dan will join a host of other celebrities as they help contestants from the general public try to win a cash prize, all while sitting on a giant spinning wheel. Taking to Instagram on Friday, the presenter shared the news with his 274,000 followers. Dan shared a snap of himself smiling as he’s strapped into one of the chairs on the big wheel.“Well… That was intense!” the former Strictly Come Dancing star penned. “Can’t wait for you to watch it #TheWheel”. This exciting new show debut isn’t the only thing Dan’s fans will have to look forward to, however, as the journalist is also set to join the team at Channel 5 in the imminent future. The presenter will be lead anchor of the channel’s recently re-launched 5pm news bulletin.On the show he will join Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije who co-presents 5 News, which is produced by ITN. At the time, the father-of-three admitted that the opportunity was “too good to turn down.”He issued a statement about his career move, which said: “I can't wait to get stuck into the daily news show, but I am also excited about making some great new TV for Channel 5."I love their ideas and creativity and it’s rare to get an opportunity like this where paths and ambitions meet."The chance to do something different was too good to turn down.”He was also forced to address rumours that his motive for
