Dan Walker last day: BBC Breakfast replacement, why he's leaving and where he goes next

Dan Walker will say goodbye to BBC Breakfast after six years on Tuesday, May 17. The presenter is leaving the famous red sofa for Channel 5 News after announcing his departure in April 2022.

The 46-year-old will be replacing Sian Williams on the programme after she stepped down from anchoring the show last month. At the time, Dan said: "I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me because I love BBC Breakfast.

"I love working alongside Sally 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 around very often and I can't wait."
