Dan Walker has confirmed his final 'BBC Breakfast' show will be on May 17th.
The 45-year-old star is departing the show after six years to take on a role as the Channel 5 News anchor, and today (03.05.22) he told viewers he only has six shifts left.
Speaking to his co-host Sally Nugent on 'BBC Breakfast', he said: "You know you keep asking me when I'm going? Well, I can tell you now, officially.
"May 17 is my last day – so two weeks today.
"If you discount this one, it's only six [shifts left]. Six more three o'clockers and I'm out of here."
Dan also thanked all the viewers who have sent him "lovely messages" since he announced his BBC departure.
He added: "The other thing to say is, thank you to everybody who sent so many lovely messages.
"And one thing I have realised, because lots of people want to chat to you about this programme. It means an awful lot to a lot of people.
"It's reminded me how special this show is, and how much everybody who watches it loves it. So, thank you very much to everyone who's come up and said some lovely things."
Dan recently revealed he turned to former football manager Sir Alex Ferguson for advice after announcing his BBC exit.
He said: "I’ve had a long chat with Sir Alex Ferguson. It’s the first time I’ve seen him for a while and he looks very well.
"He’s given me career advice, which was lovely. He was talking about the move to Channel 5 and talking about life and accepting the next challenge.
"When he was moving to clubs, St Mirren, Aberdeen and all those sorts of things, it’s good to get advice from good people around you."
