Dan Walker risked throwing BBC Breakfast into chaos, days before he quits, after an alarm fail saw him sleep in for work.
Many loyal BBC viewers were blindsided by long-running presenter Dan's announcement earlier this year that he would be following former presenter partner in crime Louise Minchin off the show's famous red sofa, confirming he was moving to pastures new for a job on Channel 5.
Writing on Twitter, the former Football Focus anchor told his many followers: ""I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me as 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 along very often and I can't wait."
