The BBC Breakfast presenter said his decision to leave the programme and join Channel 5 was a “really difficult” one, but that his new remit will allow him to make programmes “outside of news”.
Dan, who also left his role on Football Focus last year, said “it’s been a massive decision” for him to leave his job at the BBC for a new role but that “the chance to do something different was too good to turn down.”
His BBC co-stars were among those helping him celebrate his news.
Sally tweeted Dan’s announcement and said: “We’re not just colleagues but we’re friends too. Dan is simply brilliant to sit next to. I will miss him. Go and be fabulous.”
Former co-host and friend Louise added: “Massive congratulations and good luck Dan. You will be missed on @BBCBreakfast but you won’t miss the early alarm calls.”
