At the end of February, Christian presenter, Dan Walker, replaced Bill Turnball on the early show, BBC Breakfast, amidst some controversy.

Some media reports complained that he is both a Christian and a creationist and that this would bias the way he handled the programme. Dan Walker, 38, who does not work on Sundays, is adamant that his faith will not ‘affect the way I do my job.’
