Dan Walker has declared he 'can't wait to get started,' at Channel 5 as he confirmed the start date for his unexpected new role.
There was shock amongst regular viewers of BBC Breakfast earlier this year when Dan announced he'd be quitting the show and the channel, to take on the new role with a rival broadcaster. Dan told upset fans he was faced with a 'massive decision,' over the move, explaining: "I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me as I love BBC Breakfast, I love working alongside Sally (Nugent) and I love the team there."
He added: "But Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans and I don't think opportunities like this come along very often and I can't wait." It's now been two weeks since Dan sat on BBC Breakfast's famous red sofa for the final time and he's now revealed that viewers will get their first look at him on Channel 5 at 5pm on Monday, June 6.
