Dan Walker shared a heartfelt message with BBC Breakfast viewers on Tuesday as he revealed his official leaving date after six years hosting the morning programme. The 45-year-old presenter announced last month that he would be stepping down from his role on BBC Breakfast in a move to join Channel 5 on 5 News.
During the BBC Breakfast show on Tuesday, May 3, Dan told his co-host Sally Nugent and viewers his last day at the BBC will be May 17. Dan has been a part of BBC Breakfast since 2016, but will now be making a move to Channel 5, where he'll replace Sian Williams as the lead anchor on 5 News.
Speaking to co-presenter Sally Nugent, who took over from Dan's previous breakfast co-host Louise Minchin, who left in September 2021, he said: "You know you asked me when I was going? Well I can tell you now officially... May 17 is my last day, so two weeks today. If you discount this one (shift) because we’re on it, it’s only six, six more three o’clockers and then I’m out of here.”
