Dan Walker unveils unusual wardrobe transformation ahead of Channel 5 move

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..

Louise Minchin has cheekily returned to BBC Breakfast as she “replaces” Dan Walker on the red sofa alongside co-host Sally Nugent.The 53-year-old broadcaster returned to the beloved morning show on Wednesday (April 27) and it’s clear to see the star was eager to re-join the team as she joked that she was taking the Strictly star’s job just weeks before he is set to join Channel 5.Mum-of-two Louise joined the duo on the BBC morning show to discuss her concerns about the HRT shortages which have drastically affecting millions of women up and down the country.But when the show wrapped, the blonde bombshell couldn’t help but poke fun at Dan’s decision to leave the show as she posed up a storm alongside the brunette beauty and took over the show.After the show, the dad-of-three took to his Instagram account to share the hilarious clip with his 274,000 followers on social media.In the clip, the former long-standing host said: “Just for old times sake, Sal, go on” as the broadcaster pretended to read out the latest news headlines.It was at this point that Dad popped up from behind the couch feigning surprise, complaining: “I it’s still my job, what are you doing?” as Louise joked: “Not for long Dan!”Following along with the gag Sally pushed Dan’s face back down behind the sofa as he muttered: “It’s very nice to have you back Louise” while the pair were left in stitches at their impromptu gag.He also included in the post a slew of snaps of the trio sat together as they beamed besides each other at the surprising reunion more than six months since the blonde belle left the show.The TV presenter captioned the sweet post: “What a treat to have @louiseminchin back on the @bbcbreakfast sofa.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Walker and Nugent shared a moment together after they had requested that viewers send in pictures of their garden gnomes to the programme.Dan added the caption: “I am going to miss Sally,” with a laughing emoji, followed by the hashtags “show us your gnomes” and “BBC Breakfast” before he tagged his colleague.Dan, who wore a blue suit and red tie, was sitting on the sofa with his co-host Sally, who wore a white lace top and black skirt.Through laughter, Dan asked viewers: “If you would like to show us your gnomes or your favourite knick-knacks, show us your gnomes! You can email us, or tweet them to us.”Sally couldn’t hold in her laughter and keeled over as she tried, unsuccessfully, to maintain composure, before she explained that she was giggling “because of the way he said it”.Fans adored the hilarious clip and flocked to share their thoughts.One wrote: “Watching Dan Walker and Sally Nugent on BBC News cheered me right up, about the gnomes.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker was left baffled and rather disgusted as his co-star Nina Warhurst ate weeds live on-air.Nina was presenting live from an allotment in Derby to discuss the need to "use them or lose them", and highlight the importance of growing plants and veg not just for the local community but for mental health.But things turned awkward in the studio as Dan and his co-presenter Sally Nugent were both unconvinced by her facial expression while sampling some of the local produce.Nina kicked things off by telling the camera: "Dee, who runs this spot, she eats something from this land every day and says she saves a fortune. Any produce that's left over goes into the local community.

Dan Walker has revealed what he'll miss the most when he leaves BBC Breakfast later this year.The 45-year-old presenter announced he's quit the morning programme earlier this month after working on the show for six years.He's replacing Sian Williams as the news anchor on Channel 5.Dan took part in a question and answer session with his Instagram followers on Thursday (April 22) and shared his responses on his Instagram story.One fan asked: "What will you miss most about BBC Breakfast when you leave?"He replied: That's an easy one... the people (both on and off screen)"Alongside his answer, Dan shared a throwback snap of him posing on the red carpet alongside some of his BBC Breakfast co-stars including Naga Munchetty, Sally Nugent and Carol Kirkwood.Dan shared the sofa with Louise Minchin until her departure in September 2021.I'm A Celebrity star Louise was replaced by Sally Nugent earlier this year.TV favourite Dan also previously presented the BBC's Saturday morning sports show Football Focus but handed the baton to Alex Scott last year.In a video shared on his personal Twitter page on April 4, father of three Dan said it was a "massive decision" to leave the BBC but said: "I don't think opportunities like this come around very often."The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant added: "I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me because I love BBC Breakfast, I love working alongside Sally and I love the team there."But Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans and I don't think opportunities like this come around very often and I can't wait."And what an honour to step into the shoes of Sian Williams.

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.

BBC Breakfast viewers have slammed Dan Walker's interviewing technique after he had a conversation with conservative MP Brandon Lewis which some thought was "too nice".The Breakfast presenter tackled the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on Tuesday morning's show and asked him about Boris Johnson's fine over partygate.Dan, 45, also questioned Brandon, 50, about Britain's ties with Rwanda and whether it was a good idea to send refugees to the African country.With viewers at home eager to know what Brandon had to say, the MP came across fairly unmoved and seemed to compare Boris' fines to parking tickets.But this certainly didn't sit well with spectators with some criticising Dan for not coming down on the MP hard enough.Taking to Twitter in their droves, fans shared their thoughts.One person wrote: "That was the worst political interview I’ve seen for a long time. Dan Walker didn’t interview Brandon Lewis he stroked his ego.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has been called out by fans for his Sunday roast lamb as some claimed it was undercooked.The 45-year-old took to his Instagram over the weekend to share a video of himself cutting into a juicy piece of lamb.Slicing into the meat, Dan could be heard saying: "And now the first incision."Captioning the clip, he wrote: "Big family gathering so we went for some Irish fillet as a special treat…"But although he appeared proud of his roast, many fans couldn't wait to mention that it may have needed a bit more time in the oven.Jumping straight into the comment section, eagle-eyed followers shared their thoughts.One person wrote: "That's still breathing, needs another 30 minutes."Another person said: "Sorry, too pink for me."A third penned: "Too raw for me I'm afraid, but hope you enjoyed it.""That’s still mooing! Looks lovely though," said oneBut others thought Dan's roast was spot on, with one person writing: "That looks absolutely amazing, we’re just about to carve a delicious leg of lamb."Meanwhile, another commented: "Irish fillet tastes the best (biased), looks perfectly cooked too."But this isn't the first time Dan has left fans divided with his culinary skills and choice of meals.In January, the star posted a picture of his wife's freshly prepared stew sandwich that some were unsure about.Dan took to Twitter to show off his spouse’s creation with the caption: “You can tell you’re married to a Yorkshire lass when she makes a he and hers stew sandwich with a bit ofHenderson’s Relish for an evening snack,” and signed off with a laughing emoji.The accompanying picture showed the Strictly Come Dancing star’s questionable dinner, which consisted of two slices of white bread, each with a dollop
