Strictly Come Dancing.

I'm rubbish."Dan interjected: "Kevin's rubbish at cooking as well right?""Kev's useless," she agreed, before adding: "It's a miracle we're still standing."Stacey added: "We just have toast."The presenter also opened up about her time working behind the scenes of her new series.Dan commented: "I'm disappointed you did a cooking show and didn't come out with a signature dish."Stacey replied: "No.

Dan Walker had been invited to go wild swimming with his Strictly Come Dancing co-stars, but had to decline - and Sara Davies wasn't accepting his excuse.The sheepish BBC Breakfast star attempted to explain away the situation on his Instagram Stories.Talking during a special Q&A session on social media, he was quizzed on whether he'd be willing to brave the water."Would you ever go wild-swimming like the Strictly tour lot?" the question read."I was going to, actually, when we were in Sheffield," Dan recalled, referencing his hometown."I was invited down by the Reverend Kate Botley and Sara - but I just couldn't get back from work in time."It looked like fun, and I'd love to have a go."However, he added of his ill-preparedness: "Appropriate footwear always essential when wild swimming, I think!"If the luxurious-looking work shoes he has posted on Instagram to show off his shoe-sock combinations are anything to go by, they would have been nowhere near casual enough for a sporty swimming trip.However, he also reposted Sara's feisty assessment of the situation, where she'd written: "Yeah we invited him and he totally flaked on us."This excuse about not getting back from work on time is total BS - he chickened out!" she added, using a chicken emoji to punctuate her point.Dan appeared to own up to his antics, adding a GIF which read: "GUILTY."However, in previous Q&A footage from yesterday, Dan took the moment to present himself as courageous.He told fans: "The best thing about being a journalist is the opportunity to be a sword for those without weapons and a shield for those who can't defend themselves."However, his job wasn't always deeply serious, as he demonstrated when he revealed one of his embarrassing moments in the

Dan Walker quit Football Focus last April after 12 years as its lead presenter.The star went on to compete in Strictly Come Dancing later that year, whilst also juggling his presenting role at BBC Breakfast and hosting The NFL Show alongside fellow former Strictly contestant, Jason Bell. Former professional American Football player Jason Bell, 43, joined Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show today to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl 56, which will take place this Sunday. The Super Bowl is the USA’s biggest sporting event of the year, featuring a playoff championship game of the National Football League (NFL). Jason was a cornerback in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and New York Giants. However, in recent years, the sports star has strapped on his dancing shoes to compete in BBC fan-favourite show Strictly. Jason competed in the series in 2020 alongside professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk, but was unfortunately second out of the competition after former Labour Party politician Jacqui Smith.Nonetheless, when quizzed by Zoe about Strictly, he gushed about his time on the show, admitting that he still likes to dance and that his young daughter is “infatuated” with it. Zoe then asked Jason if his pal Dan Walker, 44, had asked him for advice before entering the latest series of the show back in September, as the pair have both been presenting on the NFL Show together since November 2020. “He did ask me and I said, ‘Dan, you’ll be great on it,’ because I know Dan’s personality,” Jason confirmed.  “Dan is one of the best people I’ve ever met, he is just a nice human being.So I said, ‘This will be perfect for you.’“Dan steps up to challenges and that’s what you need to do when you get on Strictly.”The BBC

Dan Walker, 44, has discussed whether he would be willing to move to London from Sheffield, where he is currently based.The BBC Breakfast presenter took to his Instagram Story today to respond to questions from some of his 270,000 followers.Asked whether he would ever consider moving to the capital, Dan said: “We have lived in London before but I don’t like the idea that you have to live in London to do a decent job.“So, Sheffield’s brilliant, not too far away from the BBC up North and you can’t get Henderson's Relish in London - very important.”Last month, the broadcaster announced he was writing another book in yet another big move away from BBC Breakfast.He did so in a reply to one Instagram user who had left a comment in one of his posts about his novel, Remarkable People.Dan had uploaded a series of pictures of him and his dog walking in the wintry sunshine.He captioned the post: "1: Human. 2: Dog.

Oti Mabuse for the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing, explained how news about presenter AJ Odudu and her professional partner Kai Widdrington had left him “devastated” in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The rugby star, 38, has teamed up with Boots UK for the second series of the health and wellbeing podcast Taboo Talk, where he discusses the topic of chronic pain with host Vogue Williams.Ugo admitted to Express.co.uk that, while he had been deeply affected by the incredible routines performed by winners Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice, he felt unsure of who would win at the time. “It’s so split, as it should be, when I looked at the quality of the final,” he explained. Ugo went on to share how saddened he was to learn that AJ and Kai would be unable to perform. AJ was forced to pull out of the show’s final back in December after she tore a ligament in her right ankle. The injury left her unable to walk at first and, while the star tried to persevere, medical professionals told her that she would not be able to compete. The DJ admitted that she was “deeply upset” at the time, adding that her experience with Kai was something that she would “treasure forever”. “It was a shame that AJ and Kai didn't get their moment,” Ugo said of the incident. “I mean, I was devastated for them, and I'm good friends with AJ. “I knew AJ before the show and I love her,” he added. AJ was due to appear in the live tour of Strictly Come Dancing early on this year, but sadly had to pull out while she is still suffering from her injury.Ugo went on to praise the other Strictly finalists, explaining that it felt like “so much more than dance”. Strictly Come Dancing’s final line-up was arguably the most diverse in the show’s
