Dan Walker is ‘grounded’ by his faith, as he tells Loose Women that he’ll never work on Sundays

New Channel 5 presenter, Dan Walker, has told the Loose Women that he is "grounded by his faith" as he discussed how Christianity has impacted his career. The former-BBC Breakfast host told Denise Welch, Ruth Langford, Jane Moore and Katie Piper that he will never work on a Sunday because of this.

Dan, who recently joined 5News after presenting BBC Breakfast since 2016, said: "Family, faith and friends are so important to me." A practising Christian, Dan's spiritual upbringing came largely through the Evangelical Christian tradition and he has said that his faith is a "big part of who [he] is." He added: "From my perspective, my faith grounds me. The praise never takes me too high and the criticism never makes me too low."

Despite this, the Loose Women questioned Dan on whether he ever "questions his own faith," to which he replied: "I think it's important to ask those questions." The 45-year-old said that faith "informs who [he is], what [he does] and how [he speaks].
