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.

Dan Walker didn’t interview Brandon Lewis he stroked his ego.
