Dan Walker has revealed the insulting message he got when he joined BBC Breakfast from one viewer who was a big Bill Turnbull fan. The presenter who yesterday revealed he was leaving to join Channel 5 and spoke about his decision on BBC Breakfast this morning with co-presenter Sally Nugent.
He said: “I’ve had so many lovely messages from BBC Breakfast viewers and loads of other people as well. “When I first started this job I got a brilliant email from somebody who said ‘you’re no good, you’ll never fill Bill Turnbull’s shoes’.
“And then he said ‘we are massive BBC Breakfast viewers and in fact we’ve got a new dog and we’ve named him after you. He’s called idiot’.” To which Sally added: “Morning!” to the viewer with a wave.
