Dan Walker has announced he's leaving BBC Breakfast after six years. The television presenter and former Strictly contestant has announced he's leaving to front Channel 5's flagship news bulletin.
Dan revealed the news on Monday on Twitter, saying it had been a 'massive decision' for him to leave the BBC after 13 years.
In a video posted by Channel 5 News, Dan addressed his fans: "Hello, it's Dan here. I have a little bit of news for you. In the next few weeks, I'm going to be leaving BBC Breakfast and moving to 5 News and to Channel 5. "I'm really excited but this has also been a massive decision for me because I love BBC Breakfast, I love working alongside Sally [Nugent] and I love the team there. "But Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans and I don't think opportunities like this come around very often and I can't wait." He continued: "I've also had the incredibly privilege of working on some iconic programmes over the last few years, both at the BBC and elsewhere and what I love about this deal is I not only get to present the news, but also host a whole range of programmes right across the channel." His move to Channel 5 will also see him host a whole slate of new programmes, in a move that is sure to be a blow to fans of the popular breakfast show.
