A third person took to Twitter, commenting: "Missing you this morning. Are you back tomorrow?"
Dan announced the news that he would be leaving the BBC to join Channel 5 in a post to Twitter last week. In a video statement shared on Channel 5's account, the presenter addressed the camera. "Dan Walker here. I have a little bit of news for you," the former Strictly star began.
"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."

Dan continued: "I've also had the incredible privilege of working on some iconic programmes over the last few years, both at the BBC and elsewhere, and what I love about this deal is I not only get to present the news, but also host a whole range of new programmes right across the channel.
"And what an honour to step into the shoes of Sian Williams. I know how popular she is with both the team and the audience, so all I can say is I will do my very best to maintain her incredibly high standards. Thank you for watching and I'll see you soon on a TV screen somewhere."
Dan is yet to confirm his departure date but has revealed that viewers can expect him to be permanently absent from the show "in the next few weeks".
