Popular presenter Dan Walker kick-started his Channel 5 career in dramatic fashion after it was announced earlier in the day that a vote of no confidence in Boris Johnson would take place. After becoming synonymous with the famous red sofa in the early hours of the morning on BBC Breakfast, Walker was broadcasting from outside Number 10 during this new teatime slot.
Viewers were delighted to see the 45-year old return after a two-week absence from the news cycle, and were equally impressed by how he handled the ever-changing situation of the day’s news. Some joked how the bunting which was still visible in the background were actually decorated for Walker rather than the Queen’s Jubilee.
Those tuning in took to Twitter to note how he could have had far easier ways to begin his new venture on Channel 5. @HHallis joked: “#5News with @mrdanwalker great start to it nice and gentle Monday, enjoy and best of luck.”
