BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker has said his decision to leave the programme and join Channel 5 was a “really difficult” one, but that his new remit will allow him to make programmes “outside of news”.
The TV presenter, 45, who presented Football Focus from 2009 to 2021 and has been a fixture on the corporation’s flagship breakfast show since 2016, previously fronted Breakfast with Louise Minchin, who departed in September 2021.
