Dan Walker tends to keep his private life away from the spotlight, but on Sunday, the BBC Breakfast star gave fans an extremely rare glimpse into his family day out.
Taking to his Instagram page to shares two photos, the presenter enjoyed a gorgeous sunny day out with his family at Redmires Reservoirs in Sheffield. One of the pictures showed a group of people walking in full view of the beautiful landmark, while the other snap taken was of the family's pet dog Winnie following their muddy walk.

Dan has previously opened up about his wife Sarah, and how she wasn't sure how his role on BBC Breakfast would affect the family. "She thought it was going to be a disaster, me getting up that early, turning into a zombie," he told The Mirror. "We've got a dog and three kids, so if I slammed the door at 3.30am saying, 'Bye everyone,' it wouldn't work."
However, since taking on the role, Dan has been able to spend more time with his loved ones. "One of the major reasons I took the job is it gives me more time at home," he added. "Most days I can be home by 11am, which means I can do the school run."
