Dan Walker reveals how he spends Christmas Day with his wife Sarah and their three children
December 13, 2021 - 08:03 GMT Ainhoa Barcelona We'd love to be a fly on the wall at Dan Walker's home during the festive period. The Strictly Come Dancing star has opened up about how he typically spends Christmas Day, as part of our Christmas Digital Issue guest-edited by Martine McCutcheon.
For breakfast, we eat… Bacon sandwiches. We are normally still stuffing sandwiches in our faces while we run out of the door to get to the Christmas Day service at church. We usually leave all the cooking to… My wife if it's at our house… who is amazing. If there are loads of us, then various jobs will be allocated but Mrs Walker is like Wonder Woman at Christmas and conquers a perfect turkey.After our big meal, we like to… Chill out and play games. The kids have got into the habit of putting on some sort of concert or play which is always great fun but means we always miss the Queen's message.
The quirkiest Christmas tradition we have is… The family panto. Same script every year, Cinderella, but a different theme and all the characters switch around. Everyone knows the punchlines so it's all wonderfully predictable but brilliant. There is a full dressing-up box and the ugly sisters are always played by two of the more senior gentlemen.
