Dan Walker only managed to lock in “two hours and 46 minutes” sleep before hosting his final BBC Breakfast due to “travel issues” the night before. As the 45-year-old took his “final stroll” into the BBC studio in the early hours of Tuesday morning, he uploaded a video to his social media accounts saying he did not have the “best prep for the final day”.
In a previous post from the night before, Walker said he was stuck on the M4 charging his electric vehicle and joked he may not make it to the studio in time. On Tuesday morning, he managed to get home eventually but it was late in the evening, so he only got “two hours and 46 minutes'” sleep.
Despite that, he commented on the “glorious morning” and said he was heading into his final show “armed with cakes for the brilliant breakfast team who have been a pleasure to work for the last six years”.
