Strictly contestants point to Christian faith

Two contestants in the BBC TV programme Strictly Come Dancing have pointed to their Christian faith in various ways as the popular Saturday night series goes on.

Well-known news and sport TV presenter Dan Walker has stuck with keeping Sunday special. The Daily Mirror reported: ‘The BBC Breakfast presenter, 44, will be taking Sundays off for religious reasons due to his devout Christian faith. Dan, who is partnered up with professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, will be using his day off to “gain perspective” on his scores and performances of the night before.’

The paper added: ‘Throughout his entire journalistic career, Dan has always prioritised his faith.’
