Look, he's just stood back to attention!"Realising his error, Charlie agreed: "Oh, he's still there!

Dan Walker has given fans a glimpse inside his new job after quitting BBC Breakfast for Channel 5.The TV presenter bid farewell to the BBC last week as he hosted his last Breakfast broadcast alongside co-star Sally Nugent, who fought back tears during the emotional send-off on Tuesday (May 17).He announced the news he was leaving the BBC last month, where he admitted leaving the BBC had been a "massive decision" for him given how much he loves his colleagues.Dan has accepted a deal to host Channel 5's revamped 5 News bulletin show, which will also see him front a range of non-news shows across the channel.However, it's now all about his next move and Dan has given his followers a first look at his new role. The former Football Focus host and Strictly star took to his social media pages to share a photo of himself at the Channel 5 studio which will be his new home.Looking smart in a suit in the black and white snap, Dan told his thousands of followers: "Had a little look around my new TV home today.

BBC Breakfast star Dan Walker was left red-faced after an "awkward" social media exchange with weather presenter Carol Kirkwood.The host, who quit last week for pastures new at Channel 5, couldn't help but point out a newlywed mistake to Carol, who recently got engaged to her mystery partner - announcing the news live on Breakfast.Her co-star Sally Nugent remarked at the time: "I'm a little bit concerned about you this morning. I don't know how you're managing to stand up with that giant rock on your left hand, Carol!" as her co-star Jon Kay collapsed into giggles.Glancing down at her hand, Carol joked: "Oh, that one? Thank you Sal! It is rather nice, I got engaged."But it was Dan and Carol who became entrenched in an awkward moment.Dan posted a Google screenshot showing various news headlines - and it looked like a cache error had given one article the wrong picture to accompany the headline, which read: "Yorkshire newlyweds turned away from honeymoon flight 25 minutes before departure."Next to the article was a picture of Dan and Carol engaged in one of her "headlock hugs".Laughing off the blunder, Dan joked on Twitter: "Well… this is awkward.
