Piers Morgan takes swipe at Dan Walker as he departs BBC Breakfast

Piers Morgan took a swipe at Dan Walker after he filmed his final 'BBC Breakfast' show.

The 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' host was previously involved in a number of Twitter spats with the 45-year-old star when he was co-hosting 'BBC Breakfast' rival 'Good Morning Britain', and he couldn't resist one last dig after Dan's final episode on Tuesday (17.05.22).

Piers posted a picture of Dan on the show, and he wrote: "End of an error. Congrats mate @mrdanwalker"

Dan replied: "Thanks… I think [crying laughing emoji]"

The TV presenter co-hosted his last ever 'BBC Breakfast' episode yesterday after six years on the show, ahead of his move to Channel 5 News.

Dan bowed out of 'BBC Breakfast' in an emotional final show, which saw his former co-host Louise Minchin make a one-off return.

In a heartfelt speech, he said: "I've had so many incredible moments working on this programme and wonderful moments this role has given me. There aren't many jobs where you get a chance to give a voice to people who don't have a voice, and to tell other people's stories.

"It's been a real privilege to sit here and present this programme.

"The other thing I want to say is thank you for tuning in. Thank you for all the comments, the kind messages, and the many lovely words over the years. And thank you for the support in loads of different things, including the dancing.

"I think it's safe to say that I, and all of us, we never take any of that for granted, the fact people watch this programme and enjoy this programme, and feel it's a part of their lives.

"I also wanted to thank the team on 'BBC Breakfast'. Everybody has been up most of the night making this programme, as they do every day, and you are all, genuinely, some of the best people I've ever worked with in my career.

"Thank you for all the support and the help and the love and the hard work as well.

"At a time when trust and truth have never been more important, it's great to work with a team who do everything to make sure that what we do and what we say is fair and accurate. That is so important."

In July 2021, Dan admitted he "misses" Piers, after the TV presenter quit 'GMB' after he refused to apologise for comments on air about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

Dan said at the time: "We’re OK. I sometimes miss the back and forth - we had a little ding dong about Emma Raducanu on social media.

"Him just pontificating about how she should have acted and what was going on in her head, so I just asked him what he would have felt if she’d stormed off in a huff.

“I thought it was healthy for both programmes. I never shied away from a bit of competition and it’s good, it keeps you on your toes as well.

"I’m sure we’ll see him back on a screen sometime soon though. So I don’t miss it too much."
