Dan Walker issues ‘early warning’ to BBC Breakfast fans after error at home causes 'clash'

“I get an email with prospects for the next day at about eight.

“I’ve always been a bit of a night owl, but lights go out at 10.45. I try to make sure that by the end of the day I am absolutely shattered, so when my head hits the pillow I’m a goner. 

“I hate going to bed early. On days off I stay up late but still get up at 6.30.”

Dan then admitted: “I’ve pulled an all-nighter twice on Breakfast and regretted it on both occasions. 

“When I took over from Bill Turnbull, he said: ‘The only advice I will give you is try to manage your sleep.’ Foolishly, I’ve almost entirely ignored him.”
