"Just to confirm... I do love working with Louise but we are not married... despite what I said on #BBCBreakfast this morning. #MrAndMrsWalker," he explained.
The broadcaster has been married to his wife Sarah since 2001. They are now parents to three young children; son Joe, and two daughters Susanna and Jessica. The couple tied the knot after they met while studying at the University of Sheffield, where Dan graduated with a Masters degree in broadcast journalism in 1999.
Meanwhile, Louise is happily married to her husband of 23 years, David Minchin. They share two daughters, Mia and Scarlett.
