Dan, 44, admitted he hadn't slept well before his final show and had managed only "two hours sleep and 46 minutes." Before the show started, he videoed himself making a final stroll into the BBC studios in Salford saying he was armed with cakes for the BBC Breakfast team.
He said: "We have lots of great guests on the show. I am going to enjoy the last one." As the show wore on, Dan started to say goodbye to his colleagues as well as being shown his best bits and messages of support from his famous friends and members of the public he has spent time with.
At the end of the show, as the crew stood around the red sofa, he sat between Sally and former co-host Louise Minchin who returned to say goodbye. Dan said: "It's always been my dream to do a job like this." Viewers became emotional as the end drew near, with one writing on Twitter: "@mrdanwalker All the best for the future Dan, thank you for keeping us entertained #BBC #BBCBreakfast @BBCBreakfast."

"Hope you find what you want in your new post but please don’t stop being the caring, approachable individual that you are. All the best." A third added: " @Christmascrazy @mrdanwalker @sallynugent I’m going to be consuming copious amounts of cake", alongside multiple sobbing emojis.
