BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker 'totally broken' as he collapses face down on floor

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. Hopefully I can beat this!”Apraxia of speech is a condition which makes talking difficult, with those afflicted finding it difficult to communicate their words clearly. The former Middlesbrough footballer was inundated with support in the comments section from followers and friends alike.  Dan Walker, 45, tweeted out in view of his 752,500 followers: “Stay strong Kammy.
