NOT REMOTELY FUNNY
BBC Breakfast viewers livid as Dan Walker replaced with no explanation in presenter shake-up
DAN Walker has been replaced on BBC Breakfast with no explanation - and viewers aren't best pleased about it.
The presenter usually presents the show alongside his co-star Sally Nugent from Monday to Wednesday, before Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt take over for the rest of the week.

However, he was replaced by temporary presenter Jon Kay in a major presenting shake-up on Wednesday morning.
During his stint on Strictly Come Dancing, it made sense for him to be missing on certain days, as he was busy with rehearsals alongside his professional dance partner Nadiya Bychkova.
But this week Dan was nowhere to be found - leaving his loyal followers fuming.
Alongside an emoji of a confused face, one person penned: "Where is Dan Walker this morning? Yet another show on BBC where there is no continuity. It’s a shambles."
Echoing their comments, someone else questioned: "Where's Dan? Would it not make sense for the BBC to address his absence?"
While a third added: "Where's Dan? He's sorely missed this morning."
Others, though, were enjoying Jon's presenting style, with one posting: "Good pressing interview from Jon Kay."
Just last week, Dan was forced to apologise as Ukrainian singer Maria Burmaka told Vladimir Putin "f**k you" on BBC Breakfast.
It comes after the Russian President declared an invasion of Ukraine last month.
Maria said: "I want to say to Putin, you are a murderer, an aggressor. Ukraine was never against Russia."

She then spoke in Ukrainian before translating: "F**k you."
Maria was immediately cut off by the presenter who told viewers: ";Sorry, Maria. I understand the depth of feelings, but I have to apologise to viewers for the language there."
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays from 6am on BBC One.
