Dan Walker was left scratching his head after Piers Morgan seemed to have one last light-hearted dig as he stepped down from BBC Breakfast.
The broadcasters had a friendly rivalry for a long time, trading barbs about the ratings when Dan was on the BBC programme and Piers was hosting Good Morning Britain over on ITV.
Dan is now leaving BBC Breakfast and is taking up a new role on Channel 5 – and Piers tweeted a message of congratulations with a twist.
Sharing a snap of Dan, he teased: “End of an error. Congrats mate @mrdanwalker.”
He added some clapping emojis.

However, Dan didn’t seem to be too sure what to make of Piers’ cryptic post.
“Thanks…. I think,” the former Strictly star replied, adding a crying with laughter emoji.
Dan, 45, announced earlier this year that he would be leaving the BBC after 13 years and heading over to Channel 5, where he will host the 5pm news programme.
He received plenty of messages from fellow TV stars as he presented his last Breakfast show.

His old colleague Louise Minchin tweeted: “Well that is the end of an era as @mrdanwalker moves on from @BBCBreakfast thanks Dan for being such a kind, supportive and generous friend and co-presenter. I loved working with you. Very good luck xxx.”
Weather presenter Carol Kirkwood posted: “Really going to miss @mrdanwalker.
“It has been an ABSOLUTE JOY working with you honey. You are the BEST. Hugest love and luck in your new job.”

Susanna Reid – who co-hosted GMB with Piers before he quit the show – suggested the father-of-three wouldn’t miss the early starts.
“Good luck in the new job @mrdanwalker – bet you’ll enjoy smashing that alarm clock to smithereens,” tweeted the TV beauty.
Dan thanked Susanna and quipped: “I’ve got a massive hammer at the ready.”
