Louise Minchin sends supportive message to BBC Breakfast's Dan Walker ahead of Strictly debut
Last modified on Sep 25, 2021 20:14 BST Sharnaz Shahid Louise Minchin has wished her former BBC Breakfast colleague the best of luck Dan Walker ahead of his debut on Strictly Come Dancing with a heartwarming message.
Dan took to the dancefloor with Nadiya Bychkova – and his first dance was the Quickstep to The Blues Brothers' Everybody Needs Somebody To Love. Following his amazing performance, the TV star revealed he wanted to dedicate his first dance to his former co-host. The dad-of-three recently opened up about this year's series – and why he kept his involvement a secret from Louise. During an interview on Premier Christian Radio's The Profile podcast, the 44-year-old confessed he was forced to keep his stint a secret from everyone - including his three children."I only told my kids last weekend so they're not very happy with me either, hardly anyone has been in the circle," he shared.
