Dan Walker gets emotional on BBC Breakfast after announcing he is leaving for 5 News

[@SpartasEdge]

Wise to get off of that ship before it sinks.

[@TheMilford99]

Best buddies when working together on the Beeb. But like Matt Baker, as soon as he left it was knife in the back treatment to his former colleagues, straight away.

[@QUEEG500_]

Lots of Beeb presenters jumping ship. Do they know something we don't?

[@SpartasEdge]

We can only hope..

Channel 5 is a American company,o no,I just realized he could be doing the Monday night American football show

[@alfching2499]

£295.000 There’s definitely something wrong with this country ,in fact how does this twit justify all that License payers money.I wish I was in charge of peoples merits.Most of these people on tv now wouldn’t even be working.

[@vo4068]

Leaving & getting a pay rise, if the bbc was privatised you’d save households in the country the licence fee & surely the staff there would all benefit from advertising fees coming in!

[@garywinterbottom4930]

I mean he was only on around 250k + a year a mere pittance to what 5 will give him.lol

[@alfching2499]

How does he deserve that sort of money,He’s nothing special,Looks like Sam the Eagle and not worth paying tuppence

[@blumbotough1076]

He was the football guy for BBC world news Asia about 10 years ago, He is one of the better BBC presenters in a long time.

[@paulcavanagh1294]

Er......well he isn't!

[@jacksugden8190]

If Walker had done 21 years of this rubbish, would open the door for him to leave - anytime Dan as over his sell by date.

[@andyc565]

A big loss for the BBC. There's such a shortage these days of middle-aged white men with the ability to read the autocue.

[@thecalling6139]

good riddance , just need the beeb to be gone and all will be right with the world

[@leegoodison]

Rearer than hen's teeth in the future BBC. to see many middle-aged or older presenters.

[@paulcavanagh1294]

This is brilliant news for the BBC, he was absolutely useless! I can go back to watching now! Fantastic!

[@alfching2499]

He Always reminds me of Sam The Eagle in Sesame Street someting about that face and that stupid crease between his Eyes,Goodbye Dan you wont be missed

[@alfching2499]

He was £259.000 useless,if that’s what you get for being useless I’m applying for his job.

[@missbritishchick]

At what point was he emotional.? 😂😂
