Less than a year after she quit the show, Louise Minchin was back on BBC Breakfast on Tuesday as former co-host Dan Walker said his goodbyes before a move to Channel 5.
It was back in the autumn that Louise, who had hosted the morning show for close to two decades, presented her final broadcast, with Dan telling her at the time that the programme 'wouldn't be the same,' without out her and he wasn't sure how he was going to cope without her by his side. And now Dan is following her off the red sofa as he makes the switch to Channel 5.
Dan is swapping channels to become the broadcaster's flag ship news presenter, following the footsteps of another ex BBC star, Sian Williams. Dan announced earlier this month that his final day would be Tuesday, May 17 and the Breakfast team made sure he had an exit to remember.
