BBC Breakfast’s Dan Walker has revealed he will be moving to Channel 5 News in the next few weeks, calling it a “massive decision” to leave the corporation.
In a video posted to Twitter, Walker said he loved BBC Breakfast and the team around him, but “Channel 5 came with big ambitions, with big plans, and I don’t think opportunities like this come around very often.”
Speaking about his new role he said: “I not only get to present the news, but also host a whole range of new programmes across the channel.
“What an honour to step into the shoes of Sian Williams,” he added.
