Dan Walker is celebrating some good news following his Channel 5 debut.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star recently left BBC Breakfast after bagging himself a job at the rival broadcaster.
Dan is presenting 5 News and will also front various other non-news programmes for Channel 5 at his new role.
The newsreader took to Twitter on Tuesday to celebrate the latest Channel 5 ratings following his debut.
He revealed that audience figures jumped a whopping 70% compared to the previous evening.

Another said: “Would love to see the viewing figures for tonight. You’ve fitted in effortlessly Dan and already a lovely relationship with the rest of the team is apparent. You’re such a nice bloke, everyone loves you.”
However, not everyone was loving Dan’s presenting style.
“Sorry Dan, but am not a Channel 5 News fan,” ranted one disappointed viewer.
Dan left BBC Breakfast last month after six years. Many fans were gutted to see him leave.
5 News airs on weekdays from 5pm on Channel 5 and My5.
