Dan Walker forgot to set his 3am alarms for BBC Breakfast for the first time in six years
The 45-year-old presenter, who hosted his last 'BBC Breakfast' Wednesday show alongside Sally Nugent this morning (11.05.22) ahead of his exit next week, had to rush to work and "wasn't too late" after failing to set his early morning wake-up calls.
He wrote on Twitter: “My last ever Wednesday on #BBCBreakfast and guess what? I forgot to set my alarms for the first time in six years.
“Thankfully the body clock kicked in and I wasn’t too late. I hope you can join us today (sic)"
Earlier this month, Dan, who is departing 'BBC Breakfast' after six years to take on a role as the Channel 5 News anchor, announced his final show will take place on Tuesday (17.05.22).
Speaking to his co-host Sally on the show, 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 previously admitted he was "really excited" about joining Channel 5, but it had been a "massive decision" to leave 'BBC Breakfast' behind.
He tweeted: "Hello, Dan Walker 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 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."
