Earlier today, Dan posted a short video on Twitter, announcing his start date at 5 News.
In the video, Dan and Claudia are sitting in the 5 News studio.
After introducing themselves, Dan says: “It’s great to be joining Channel 5.”
“But news is never about who sits in the chair,” he continued.
“It’s the stories that matter most, from a team you can trust.”
Claudia then tells viewers to join them every weekday from 5pm on Channel 5.
“Here we go,” Dan tweeted. “See you next Monday at 5, on 5.”
Plenty of Dan’s 759.8k followers took to the replies to wish the star luck.
“Good luck DW. A decent lad,” one follower tweeted.
“It’s good to see you again Dan Walker, I’ll tune in to see you,” another said.

Not everyone who replied was there to wish Dan well though.
“No thanks, I would rather watch paint dry than watch your utterly boring presentation. But glad you have left the BBC,” one of Dan’s followers said.
5 News airs on weekdays from 5pm on Channel 5 and My5.
