BBC Breakfast bosses are said to be lining up a GB News presenter to permanently replace Dan Walker.It comes after Dan quit the show back in May for a job at rival network Channel 5, with him set to begin his run at the channel on Monday (June 6) with its flagship news show.He is the second major star to leave BBC Breakfast in a matter of months, following his co-star Louise Minchin’s exit last year.Since Dan left, temporary presenter Jon Kay has stepped up to the plate to fill his seat alongside Sally Nugent, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt keeping their regular presenting slots later in the week.A BBC source has now confirmed to Daily Star that Jon Kay looks set to permanently replace Dan - but there are some other big names in the pot too, including GB News star Stephen Dixon.They said: “Jon Kay is very popular in the newsroom, but the process to replace Dan is still ongoing with a few weeks left apparently.“They definitely haven’t done the interviews yet.
