Dan Walker's transition into life at Channel 5 seems to have gone smoothly, there has allegedly been some "disruption" behind the scenes at his old BBC Breakfast job.One BBC source has now confirmed to Daily Star that things are rather hectic behind-the-scenes of the morning programme, which is currently helmed by Sally Nugent, Jon Kay, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.Not only is there tension on set due to the "hasty" decision by BBC bosses to replace Dan's image with Jon Kay's for the show's official social media accounts, but a major overhaul is being planned at the same time.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, a BBC source said: "There's disruption behind the scenes as BBC Breakfast is getting a new set in the next few months."The show is set to emulate the studio of popular US talk shows, with a more dynamic background and perhaps swapping out the low coffee table for a higher desk.They added: "It will be the first time they've changed it since they moved to Salford in 2012, so all in all everything will look very different in the coming months."Apparently they want it to look a bit more like a US breakfast show and might have windows and people walking past."But that isn't all, as there is more tension than just a set reshuffle behind the cameras.In front of the camera, Jon Kay has stepped almost seamlessly into Dan's old seat on the red sofa - but not everyone is happy about it.The BBC hasn't yet confirmed who will take over Dan's role in an official capacity, and some staff still vying for the promotion have been left feeling "awkward" that Jon appears to be the "heir apparent".Our source told us: "Much as everyone thinks Jon Kay is the heir apparent for Dan's job, there has been some uneasiness that the

Dan Walker could be replaced on BBC Breakfast by his new Channel 5 co-star Julian Druker.Dan left the BBC for good last month and made the move to 5 News, which he presents alongside Claudia-Liza Vanderpuije. Since then, the BBC have been considering various candidates to take over from him.One of which is Channel 5 news reporter Julian Druker, a BBC source confirmed exclusively to Daily Star - who Dan appeared alongside just last week (June 10).Julian was outside London's High Court to discuss the plans to send refugees to Rwanda, which subsequently failed to go ahead on Tuesday (June 14).Dan asked Julian: "Good evening, what’s been happening?"Later, the clip cut to Dan in the studio as he wondered: "And Julian, there’s been other opposition to the plans?"Julian was all professionalism as he responded: "Yes, Labour leader Keir Starmer today describing it as a 'chaotic diversion', said it hasn’t been thought through, he says ministers here should get around the table with ministers in France…"But our BBC source has claimed that Julian could be eyeing up Dan's old job with its eye-watering £100,000 salary for a three day week.They told Daily Star that while BBC star Jon Kay looks to be the frontrunner, other names are still in the mix."Jon Kay is very popular in the newsroom, but the process to replace Dan is still ongoing with a few weeks left apparently.
