Dan Walker has hit back at speculation that he's leaving BBC Breakfast for Channel 5 because he's sick of a lack of 'primetime opportunities.'
There was surprise amongst loyal viewers of the morning show last week when long serving presenter Dan announced he was leaving, just months after popular Louise Minchin also made her exit from the BBC after close to 20 years. Sharing a post from 5 News, Dan said: "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."
