BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker seems to be missing the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom so much so that he insisted he’s heading back for the final in a ‘rerun’ of the BBC show.
Speaking about the upcoming final on Saturday, he told co-host Sally Nugent all about the line-up for the show.
Dan began the segment by announcing: “Yesterday!” as Sally, in good humour, enquired: “What were you doing yesterday, Dan?”
Her co-host announced proudly: “I was back on the Strictly ballroom floor!”
Sally couldn’t quite believe what she was hearing, as she asked: “They let you back in? Has there been a rerun?”
“Yes, I’m back in. I’m in the final!” Dan immediately responded, as Sally beamed beside him on the red sofa.

But it was soon clear he was only kidding, as he followed it up with: “I’m not. We’re doing our group dance for the final, so we had to rehearse it yesterday.”
“So you’re back there!” Sally replied, as Dan explained: “So the three finalists – AJ, Rose and John – are all in the final this Saturday.”
Theorising, Sally wondered: “I imagine they’re in a bubble at the moment!” as Dan agreed: “A secret bubble somewhere where you can’t get anywhere near them.”

“Exactly, don’t breathe on them!” Sally joked.
Dan went on: “The rest of us are all in a dancey bubble now. It was nice to see everybody again, all back in the ballroom.”
Clarifying for the viewers, Sally asked: “So you’re actually dancing again on Saturday night?”
And Dan was eager to give a sneak peek, as he told her: “There’s one big number at the end where we’re all in it, and everyone has a bit from their favourite dance in there. So just wait and see, it’s good fun!”
Sally promised him: “I cannot wait for that. Saturday night, everybody – make sure you’re watching!”
Dan’s fellow celebs are also itching to see him, as Dragons’ Den star Sara Davies took to her Instagram Stories to admit: “I miss this guy man! (I mean thankfully I see him every Monday [through Wednesday] on a morning on the telly-box but this afternoon I get to see him in the actual flesh and I can’t wait!”
She added: “See you later partner #GroupDance.”
And Dan recorded a video from the rehearsals studio, explaining to camera: “We’re back. We’re back in the studio today and we have been preparing for the big Strictly Come Dancing final this Saturday.
He went on: “Doing some moves for the group dance, and everyone gets to do a bit of their favourite dance from the series.”
