Dan Walker confirms his BBC Breakfast departure date ahead of Channel 5 move

Dan Walker has revealed when he'll spend his last day on BBC Breakfast before heading off the pastures new. The presenter announced early last month that he was leaving the news programme after six years.

He joined the BBC One early morning show in 2016 and his exit comes seven months after former co-host Louise Minchin spent her last day hosting the programme, 20 years after first joining.
