Dan Walker is to join Channel 5 after a 13-year career at the BBC. The 45-year-old made the announcement on Twitter.
The BBC explained that he had been faced with an offer he couldn't refuse, reports The Mirror. Appearing in a video on Twitter, shared by Channel 5 News, he told viewers: "Hello, it's Dan here. I have a little bit of news for you. In the next few weeks, I'm going to be leaving BBC Breakfast and moving to 5 News and to Channel 5.
"I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me because I love BBC Breakfast, I love working alongside Sally [Nugent] and I love the team there. But Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans and I don't think opportunities like this come around very often and I can't wait.
