Dan Walker has insisted that, despite the BBC being known for its impartiality rules, he was never ‘told what to say’.
Dan, who left BBC Breakfast for Channel 5 News in June, said he’s never been keen on the idea of ‘throwing his opinion’ at viewers.
Chatting to Metro.co.uk and other press at the Pride of Britain Awards, Dan said: ‘When I was at the BBC, I was never told what to say or what not to say.
‘I think my job as a broadcaster is always to ask the difficult questions, but I’m not one of those presenters who’s gonna throw my opinion at you and say, “This is my opinion, watch my programme, because I’m going to shout it at you.”
