Dan Walker has announced he is leaving BBC Breakfast after six years. The presenter confirmed the news on Monday, April 4, and explained he would be moving to Channel 5 News.
The 45-year-old is replacing Sian Williams who stepped down from anchoring the show last month. In a video clip posted to the official Channel 5 Twitter account Dan said he was "really excited".
Following the announcement many of Dan's colleagues, including his former co-host Louise Minchin who left the show after 20 years in September 2021, have wished him well. Louise wrote on Twitter: "Massive congratulations and good luck Dan. You will be missed on @BBCBreakfast but you won't miss the early alarm calls."
