Read our privacy policy Dan Walker has addressed the time that a hen party crashed his Rio Olympics coverage, joking that it had potential to go very differently. In August 2016, Walker was on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, presenting for BBC Four, when he and his crew encountered an unexpected disruption from a raucous hen party that was passing by. Asked about the viral moment by host Susanna Reid, Walker said that he and De Cezar are “still friends”, adding that they most recently spoke last week. Co-host Richard Madeley called De Cezar a “live TV dream”, to which Walker joked that his decision to invite her to speak on the broadcast “could’ve gone horribly wrong”.
