BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent has spoken out to react to the news that Dan Walker is quitting the show for a job at Channel 5, saying the pair are 'friends,' not just colleagues.
Dan got rather emotional last year when his long serving co-host Louise Minchin left the programme after close to two decades of presenting it. And now, the Strictly 2021 contestant is following Louise, who went onto star in I'm A Celebrity, out of the door.
Dan shocked BBC viewers when he shared a post from Channel 5 confirming his new role as host of 5 News. In a video that accompanied the tweet, 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.
