Born in Crawley in 1977, Dan Walker is one of the UK’s most prominent TV sports journalists and anchors. He started out as a super-slick and enthusiastic commentator for Manchester’s Key 103, before joining Granada Television and later the BBC – first at the regional news programme North West Tonight and later on BBC Breakfast. He currently hosts 5 News on Channel 5 and his new book, Standing on the Shoulders, is out now. Walker lives in Sheffield with his wife, Sarah, and their three children.
