It's been a week since Dan Walker was given an emotional send-off from BBC Breakfast after six years of appearing on the famous red sofa. The presenter called it quits on the early morning news programme, announcing the news last month before his last day on the show last Tuesday (May 17).
When he announced his exit from his BBC One role, Dan revealed his next move and told fans that he'd be the host of Channel 5's revamped 5 News as he replaces Sian Williams.
The 45-year-old said at the time that the move has "been a massive decision" and during his last appearance on the programme, he almost pushed Sally Nugent to tears with his leaving speech in which he gushed over his co-host of six months.

However, it's now all about his next move and Dan has given his followers a glimpse at his new role. The former Football Focus presenter and Strictly Come Dancing 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. They all seem lovely at @c5news."
Fans were quick to flood the post with questions on his start date which he is yet to reveal. But he was also inundated with good luck messages. @sweeting.karen said: "Miss you on bbc in the morning. Good luck." @clacton2014 wrote: "Hope it will prove a good move for you Miss you in the mornings."
@janebruce commented: "Good luck you’re going to smash it Dan." @clairepowlson replied: "Hope it’s in colour! Good luck Dan, Miss you on breakfast."
It comes after Dan enquired
