Some bad news for Dan Walker’s next bulletin – viewers failed to follow him to Channel 5.
He quit BBC Breakfast for the 5pm News at 5 show in a reported £1.5million deal, and then boasted about ratings. But Walker attracts 230,000 viewers – the same as previous host Sian Williams.
After his first outing on June 6, Walker, 45, tweeted: “Lots of talk about figures last night… we are happy with ours, audience was up over 70%.”
