'No he isn't!' Dan Walker hits back as BBC Breakfast viewer questions his on-air choice

Dan Walker, 44, couldn't contain his excitement when the BBC Breakfast team was joined by sports journalist John Watson. However, Sally Nugent, 50, did not share this excitement, especially when they discussed golf, leading to the presenter to react to a "disappointed" Olympic golfer on Twitter surrounding the interview.Olympian Catriona Matthew OBE wrote on Twitter: "Disappointing from @sallynugent this morning being so open about her disdain for #golf on @BBCBreakfast...

BBC Breakfast.The 44 year old, who is known to have a passion for the sport, couldn't help but display his excitement when sports journalist John Watson appeared on the red sofa.But quickly realising that Sally was interested, the host said: "I love golf John but when we talk about golf in this programme you can hear the collective sigh from people. "We'll have a ten-minute golf chat later John."Clearly uninterested, Sally sighed and said: "Anyway."But Dan wasn't happy with her remark and giggled: "Stop it!"However, making sure things weren't too awkward, Sally reassured her colleague that she was in fact joking."I'm joking," Sally insisted, with Dan replying: "I know you're joking.""I'm carrying on a tradition," Sally chimed, making reference to her predecessor Louise Minchin.Laughing, Dan said: "Thankfully Louise isn't here to give the golf eyes.

BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker cheekily hit back at viewers after opting for a show-stopping outfit to present on the show.Dan, 44, was accused of wearing jeggings, which are leggings made of a jean material, while presenting alongside Sally Nugent on the BBC show this week.The BBC host was seen on air wearing a form-fitting navy suit with a white shirt and a grey tie, while Sally opted for a purple blazer and dark trousers.However, fans mistook the outfit for jeans as one cheekily asked: "Is @mrdanwalker wearing jeggings this morning on @BBCBreakfast?"Another added: "It must be a trick of the light!"A third claimed: "He has to wear what the BBC tell him to wear."But Dan hit back at the comments, as he replied to say: "No he isn't," adding "regulation trousers" as a hashtag along with a laughing face.Viewers were left disappointed to not see Dan on their screens on Wednesday, which he normally presents with Sally.He and Sally usually do Monday to Wednesday before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over on a Thursday.However, Sally was seen on the red sofa next to stand-in presenter Jon Kay for the edition of the news programme.Dan is yet to give an explanation for his absence, but the star regularly changes up his schedule to fit in his other projects.Fans took to social media to share their opinions, with one posting: "Where is Dan Walker this morning?? Most weeks he’s only doing 2 days!! Why??"Yet another show on BBC where there is no continuity. It’s a shambles.

Louise Minchin has a history of news presenting on the channel, while her BBC Breakfast co-host Carol Kirkwood presents the weather.

BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker opened about a rather embarrassing travel blunder he endured while on a trip to China. The BBC correspondent took part in a fan Q&A with his Instagram followers on Thursday (March 10) while on his commute.One fan asked: "Have you ever fallen asleep and missed your train station?"To which he replied: "I fell asleep on a train in China once and ended up miles away from where I should have been! Never on a train in the UK but I did do a bus in Sheffield during my early student days.

BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker has hit back at a viewer after a swipe at his VERY tight trousers. Dan, 44, is always suited and booted on the BBC morning show but on Tuesday, one viewer thought he had switched up his look.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker fired back at a viewer on Twitter - after they questioned the host's fashion choice.The BBC presenter, 44, is always seen in a smart suit when he anchors BBC Breakfast on weekday mornings.However, he took to Twitter to respond to one baffled fan who had a question about his on-air outfits - and he couldn't help giggling at their comment.The viewer thought they'd spotted the former Strictly Come Dancing star sporting a pair of leggings - a far cry from his usual formal attire.Tuesday's broadcast (March 8) saw Dan return to the studio with his co-star Sally Nugent, and he looked smart as ever with a jacket, shirt and tie.He also wore matching dark trousers for the cameras, but a Twitter user thought the broadcaster was wearing something else.They asked: "Is @mrdanwalker wearing jeggings this morning on @BBCBreakfast?"Dan was quick to clarify the fan's confusion on the micro-blogging platform, and he wrote: "No he isn't", alongside the hashtag:" #RegulationTrousers."The fan replied: "It must be a trick of the light!", adding a laughing-emoji of their own.It wasn't long before Dan's fans flocked to comment on Dan's fashion sense.One wrote: "He has to wear what the BBC tell him to wear!"A second said: "Looking very smart as usual."Later on, Dan thanked viewers for tuning in to his show as he knew the Ukraine war coverage is a "tough watch".Dan said: "Thanks for being with us on #BBCBreakfast this morning.

They are all my favourite. Who do you think?”Louise responded: “My all-time favourite: you and Jamie Laing.”Karen admitted: “I love Jamie.

Dan Walker, 44, has called on his social media followers to be “accurate” and “kind” when speaking about the “really horrible” news of Ukraine.The BBC Breakfast presenter had taken to his Instagram Story to reply to questions from some of his 272,000 followers.One of the people sending in their enquiries asked him how he remained “positive” on television “when what’s happening in Ukraine is so upsetting”.In a lengthy message, Dan explained: “The news is really horrible at the moment.“I try and imagine I’m a viewer.“I think that gives you a good handle on when it gets too much, when you need a break, when you need a reset, when you need a breath.“I also think it’s real life, it’s happening, it’s not that far away and people are suffering.“Be careful, be accurate, be kind.”Last week Dan came under fire after apologising over a Ukrainian guest swearing on BBC Breakfast when she became overcome with emotion.The presenter had been discussing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with Ukrainian singer Maria Burmaka when she dropped the F-bomb as she denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin.Dan immediately apologised to viewers, telling Maria: “Maria, I understand the depth of feeling but I have to apologise to our viewers."The guest soon realised her mistake and put her hands over her mouth and thanked the presenters for being on the show.However, the moment did not sit right with many viewers, who criticised Dan’s lack of “sensitivity”.The broadcaster even saw his name trend on Twitter with social media users divided over his reaction to the swear word.Twitter user JayneMcCubbinTV shared her outrage as she found out the reason why Dan was trending.She wrote: “This is so sad.

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 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].

I had one today for the first time since I finished."Great memories of that show and the people who made it special."Dan presented Football Focus from 2009 until April 2021 when he quit and was replaced by former Arsenal Ladies star Alex Scott.He announced the departure with a heartfelt video posted to social media explaining his decision to leave.Dan said: "This is going to be my last season presenting Football Focus.
