Dan Walker has left BBC Breakfast, after more than six years presenting the BBC ’s flagship morning programme. The 45-year-old received a fond farewell from colleagues on this morning’s show (May 17) as he left the BBC Breakfast sofa for the last time.
Walker is heading to Channel 5, where he’ll replace his fellow former BBC Breakfast host Sian Williams as the main presenter of its evening news bulletin. His deal with Channel 5 will also see him present a range of other programmes for the broadcaster.
Away from TV, Walker is known for his deep religious convictions, which have been the subject of much speculation and conjecture. So what exactly are Dan Walker’s religious beliefs - and what about his personal life?
