Dan Walker only announced his BBC Breakfast on Monday but his seat had already been filled... sort of. The presenter announced the news that he was quitting the early morning news programme after six years on social media earlier this week.
He revealed that he'll now be swapping mornings for the afternoon as the host of Channel 5's revamped 5 News. He will replace Sian Williams after she announced she was stepping down earlier last month.
Dan joined the programme back in 2016 to host the early morning news programme alongside Louise Minchin. His exit comes seven months after his former co-host spent her last day hosting the programme, 20 years after first joining, after announcing her own exit a few months earlier.
