Dan Walker poses for snap with BBC Breakfast colleagues as co-star returns to studio

Carol Kirkwood is known for her bubbly personality while presenting the weather on BBC Breakfast and even showcased her moves when she appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015.

Never on a train in the UK but I did do a bus in Sheffield during my early student days.

Carol Kirkwood teased some "exciting news" with her Instagram followers on Thursday. Sharing her usual daily photo on social media, the BBC Breakfast weather reporter teased: "Exciting news to come today….

DAN Walker has been replaced on BBC Breakfast with no explanation - and viewers aren't best pleased about it. The presenter usually presents the show alongside his co-star Sally Nugent from Monday to Wednesday, before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over for the rest of the week.

Dan Walker shared a serious snap of him and his BBC Breakfast co-star, Sally Nugent, as he braced viewers for a "tough watch". The BBC host shared a snap of him and Sally in the BBC studios as they prepared for another presenting shift, which has been dominated by Ukraine war reporting. With both of the hosts looking very serious, he captioned the post: "Thanks for being with us on #BBCBreakfast this morning.

BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent was forced to explain the sudden disappearance of one of her co-stars as he "had a tiny bit of a wobble".She explained that perhaps a question was "one too many for him" as the reporter disappeared off-screen, leaving the Breakfast hosts reeling in shock.Sally was hosting the show alongside Jon Kay, with her usual co-host Dan Walker absent from the programme this Wednesday (March 9).Dan Snow was appearing via video link to discuss the finding of Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance a century after it sank on an Antarctic expedition, buried 3,000 metres under the surface of the water.The expedition which set out to locate the ship found it in good condition under the waves - but doesn't intend to raise the vessel.With Dan on his own ship in the middle of the sea, Jon began by announcing: "Endurance was thought to be lost forever - something consigned to the history books that you might read about, but you never really see or understand because it was trapped under the ever-shifting pack of ice above it."Sally said: "Until now. Endurance has been found at a depth of 3,000 metres."Things then cut to Dan Snow, standing in the cabin of a ship via a rather blurry video-link.And though he valiantly presented a lengthy segment, chaos ensued as Jon said: "So we can look, we can see the footage, but you're not going to touch it?"Only silence followed, as the video link to Dan appeared to drop.Jon told viewers at home: "And with that...

BBC Breakfast viewers were left unimpressed as fan favourite presenter Dan Walker was missing from the red sofa.He was replaced by temporary presenter Jon Kay in a major presenting shake-up on Wednesday (March 9).Dan usually presents the show alongside his co-star Sally Nugent from Monday to Wednesday, before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over for the rest of the week. During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, it made sense for him to be missing on certain days, as he was busy with rehearsals alongside his professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has taken to Twitter to respond to a viewer, who questioned his wardrobe choices this morning. Cheekily hitting back on the microblogging platform, the Strictly Come Dancing star, 44, clarified what he had turned up to work in today after a viewer claimed the presenter looked less than his usual smart self.This morning saw Dan continue his BBC Breakfast hosting responsibilities alongside his co-host Sally Nugent.Dan appeared in his usual smart jacket, shirt and tie which he paired with matching dark trousers.However, one social media user wondered whether the sports journalist had opted for a more casual pair of trousers than usual.Twitter user @bustaeyoker penned: "Is @mrdanwalker wearing jeggings this morning on @BBCBreakfast?"Responding good-humouredly, Dan replied: "No he isn't," followed by a laughing face.He added the hashtag: "#RegulationTrousers."The original poster replied: "It must be a trick of the light!" alongside a laughing face.However, it wasn't long before more of Dan's followers weighed in on his work attire.@CairnToby penned: "Looking very smart as usual."While @wrag_dave chimed in: "He has to wear what the BBC tell him to wear!"Later in the show, Dan took to the platform to thank viewers for tuning in, acknowledging that the BBC's coverage on the conflict in Ukraine is a "tough watch".He wrote: "Thanks for being with us on #BBCBreakfast this morning.

BBC Breakfast presenters Sally Nugent and Dan Walker were left with an annoying noise in their ear after a rather chaotic segment on the price of energy - and Sally didn't hesitate to scold her co-presenter.Temporary host and reporter Nina Warhurst was on location in the Midlands to investigate the rising cost of gas, electricity and petrol on Tuesday (March 8), in a busy warehouse where steel was being forged.But the segment was interrupted by loud buzzing noises around Nina as the factory continued to carry out its manufacturing process - something that definitely couldn't be helped.Turning to Nina's segment, Dan said: "I know it's busy where you are, Nina, good morning!"Nina had to shout against the roar of machinery as she returned their good morning, explaining: "This is in the West Midlands not far from Dudley."What happens is they take this raw material, turn it into cylinders which are treated and lined - a bit like laminating a piece of paper - that can end up in nuclear reactors, turbines, parts of ships."But by the end of the segment the droning buzz had clearly got to Dan and Sally - as well as the rising cost of energy.And it was soon clear Sally wasn't happy with Dan's moaning.Nina finished up by saying: "I wish I had better news from the West Midlands but that's the way it's going to be, at least for the coming months."Sally reassured her: "Nina, we forgive you.

Dan Walker has revealed that he had “past dance experience” before he appeared on the 19th series of Strictly Come Dancing with none other than Shirley Ballas.

“I tried to lift @ShirleyBallas’ spirits one day with a spot of paso.”He released a short clip along with the statement in full view of his 752,200 followers. Dan can be seen in the video reassuring Shirley, as she could be seen looking upset and unassured. He said in the video: “Why don’t you harness Shirley Ballas, three time world champion.” Countryfile presenter Anita Rani can be seen supporting Shirley, too. She said, reassuring her in the same vein as Dan: “The bada** that is Ballas.”Fans took to the comments section to share their shock over Dan's cheeky insight, with Howard Baker quipping: “So you had a personal trainer, you should be disqualified.”Stuart Aston added: “Mr Walker. What are you like?"In 2019, Dan and Shirley joined other celebrities, including Ed Balls and Little Mix's Jade Thirlwall to raise thousands for Comic Relief. The group raised the money by making the famously difficult climb to the top of Kilimanjaro, the peak of the world’s tallest mountain. Dan can be seen in the background of the clip trying to show off his Paso Doble skills to lighten the tension. Dan released the clip ahead of this year’s Comic Relief, which is due to air on Friday 18th March. During filming for the Red Nose Day documentary, Dan also opened up about difficulties that he faced. Suffering from altitude sickness, Dan said on the show: “It’s like that rock pressing down on my chest, like that."Same as you, you just can’t get enough in, so everyone’s feeling it.“Man alive, that was tough,” he later said.“I have no memory of going up there.

BBC Breakfast host Sally Nugent left behind a stilted atmosphere in the studio on Monday (March 7) during one tense discussion with a guest.F1 legend Christian Horner was on the red sofa with Sally and her co-presenter Dan Walker to discuss the upcoming races - including the fact that some Russian athletes won't be allowed to compete due to ongoing sanctions.Red Bull Team Principle Horner admitted: "It's shocking to see what's going on in the world, and sports is almost irrelevant when you see what's going on in the world like that."But the conversation soon turned to the expected results of the sport - and an awkward discussion ensued as Sally accused Christian of not liking change.Dan explained: "For those who don't know, there have been changes made to the way the race director works - there are now two race directors and they flip-flop between races. Is that needed to change?"Christian said it wasn't "ideal", adding that "one race director was preferential to me rather than splitting the role".And Sally quickly followed up: "So you don't like change? You don't like it when they change stuff!"It only got worse as a giggling Sally admitted it was a "little bit uncomfortable" when it comes to F1 driving.Christian stated: "Everything [is different technically].
