7. Dan Walker

Although Dan Walker left the BBC in 2022 and moved to Channel 5, he was a daily face on Breakfast again after I was watching it nearly day by day. I watched him compete in Strictly Come Dancing and current greater than 500 episodes of Soccer Focus, and struggled to fathom why he was such a golden little one of the BBC.

Although way more personable than his substitute Jon Kay, Dan’s presenting type was generally so tacky I needed to bodily look away from the display. He’d carry his different initiatives into the Breakfast studio, always referencing his dancing efforts and partnership with Nadiya Bychkova alongside Sally Nugent. 

Worse nonetheless was the controversy surrounding his taxis to and from work. In 2021, reviews emerged that he took a £200 spherical journey every day from Sheffield to Manchester to get to work, and although he claimed it was merely faux information, it tarnished his shine just a bit bit an excessive amount of for me.

Dan – who was incomes a wage of £260,000 a yr on the time – insisted he drove himself to work, however BBC guidelines urged his 3:45am journeys may very well be funded by his employer.
