WHEN he was poached from the BBC by Channel 5, most viewers thought Dan Walker was just reading the news to them.
But it turns out he may be doing a variety of shows for the network — and could soon be one of their biggest all-around stars.
Speaking on the Monday Mile podcast, the former breakfast host said: “My contract includes guaranteed hours I get to do TV.
“It could be documentaries, it could be a quiz, it could be any format.
“It’s really exciting because you also get some creative input on what’s being made.
“You don’t get a lot of opportunities where a big network comes up to you and says, ‘We want you to come and work for us and do a lot of stuff.'”
Dan added, “I haven’t decided what to do yet.
“After I’ve been doing the news for a couple of months and we’ve nailed that, we’re getting together.”
