Dan Walker quits BBC Breakfast and announces next move

Dan Walker is set to leave BBC Breakfast to take up a new role on a rival channel. The presenter joined the BBC One's early morning news programme back in 2016.

His exit comes seven months after former co-host Louise Minchin spent her last day hosting the programme, 20 years after first joining.

Dan, who took part in Strictly Come Dancing last year, will leave the famous sofa after six years and go on to front Channel 5’s revamped 5 News. He revealed the news on Monday (April 4) and said "it’s been a massive decision" for him to leave his job at the BBC for a new role.
