BBC Breakfast fans seriously distracted by Louise Minchin’s outfit as she returns to show for Dan Walker’s last episode

BBC Breakfast fans have been left seriously distracted by Louise Minchin's outfit after she returned to the show for Dan Walker's last episode.

Louise left BBC Breakfast in September last year, meaning Dan was joined on the red sofa by new co-host Sally Nugent.

But to mark Dan's last day on the show today, Louise returned to pay tribute to him in the final half an hour of the programme.

The 53-year-old certainly couldn't be missed as she walked onto the set and sat down, wearing head to toe neon yellow.

Her outfit consisted of trousers and a long sleeved top, and viewers immediately commented on it on Twitter.

One wrote: "Good grief, Louise! Surely you hadn’t forgotten the sofa was red when you chose this outfit, to guest on Dan’s farewell!"

Another added: "You looked lovely in your yellow dress."

Louise paid tribute to Dan as she sat beside him, saying: "With Dan you know when he is sitting next to you he is always going to support you.

"When things are going really, really wrong and you just look me in the eye and say 'We've got this'.

"You do a beautiful thing where you give people confidence and I thank you."

Speaking about his departure, Dan said: "It's a weird old mixture, it's sad because I love working with the team here and I love working with you [Sally], I had such a lovely time working with Louise for so many years.

"But its exciting as you don't get many opportunities to do the challenge I'm about to have."

Dan, 44, is leaving BBC Breakfast for a new role at Channel 5, where he will present the network's news show and other programmes.

Meanwhile, Dan's replacement is yet to be officially confirmed by the BBC.
