BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker was jokingly told he’ll be “back in three months” as he hosts his final days on the show.
Dan, 45, is leaving the BBC show for a new role at Channel 5, a move which has left many of his fans gutted.
The presenter revealed his last day is tomorrow (May 17) but his co-star Sally Nugent joked he’ll be back within months!

Sally quipped: “You better! I’ve brought in quite a few cakes over the last few months so…”
Dan then said: “Did you hear our editor shout ‘finally’?” as he pointed to his earpiece.
Dan continued: “You only leave once don’t you.”
Sally replied: “Oh I don’t know, do you?”
Dan chuckled: “I’m coming back am I? You’re anticipating the new job going that badly.”
Sally quipped: “You’ll be back in three months, you’ll miss us too much!”
It seems many fans would love if Dan returned in three months though, as many are missing him already!
Dan shared a photo of his phone alarm clocks to Twitter on Sunday night.
The first was set to go off at 3am up until 3:19am.
You’ll be back in three months, you’ll miss us too much!
Dan said: “I’m going to miss so much about BBC Breakfast but… only 2 more days of this!
“See you in the morning. Need to bring some cakes in for my last day on Tuesday.”
Dan’s followers admitted they’ll miss Dan being on BBC Breakfast.
