BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker, 44, has taken to Twitter to give an update on a member of his family. A week ago the newsreader told how his family dog Winnie had been injured and was struggling to walk. But after fans inundated Dan with messages, he took to Twitter to share an update on his pet pooch.
Following his news, viewers were questioning his absence on BBC Breakfast, after Louise Minchin had been hosting the show with other members of the presenting team, including Charlie Stayt and Ben Thompson.
But Dan finally broke his silence on his absence after one fan took the opportunity to ask when Dan would return to the famous red sofa.
They asked his co-star: “When is the lovely @mrdanwalker joining you again Louise?”
“Or is he having time off to train for @bbcstrictly?”
