Channel 5 and Classic FM host Dan Walker has opened up on his “dream” career move away from television and radio as he expressed his excitement on social media.
The former BBC Breakfast star took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce he is now the part-owner of a cafe. Sharing snaps outside the premises as well as images of delicious food you can expect there, Dan wrote: “You know I go on about cake a lot? Well… I am officially now the part-owner of a cafe!”
He continued: “It’s something my wife and I have been thinking about for a while and an opportunity came up just down the road from our house in Sheffield at a place we love, right at the heart of the community, and with friends who are brilliant.”

Dan added according to Wales Online: “So… feel free to pop along to the Brook Coffee Rooms in Fulwood in Sheffield… I’ll be the one in the corner eating a cronut. It is officially… THE DREAM.”

Amongst the famous faces to congratulate him on his new venture was his former BBC Breakfast colleague and weather presenter Carol Kirkwood. “Those cakes…. these pastries… Congratulations to you both,” she replied.
A follower added: “After your morning on Classic FM, you can serve cake to your customers for a couple of hours at lunchtime before preparing for 5 News later on. Your perfect working day is now complete.”

Another penned: “We send huge good luck wishes Dan for you and your families exciting new adventure. We are round the corner so will definitely be in soon.” And a third wrote: “Congratulations from one Community Coffee Shop to another! Sending you both lots of love and luck as you take on this new challenge.”
Last month 46-year old Dan revealed that he often “cried” while working BBC Breakfast after years of waking up at 3am for the popular morning show. The TV star confessed that he found himself feeling “emotional” on his third show of the week from sleep exhaustion.

He told This Morning: “By Wednesday I was in full zombie mode and also you get really emotional. So by Wednesday at the end of the show you’re in the toilets just crying. Anything sends you over the edge, if someone says something nice about your trousers you say ‘Oh that’s very kind of you’.
“I didn’t cry every day, don’t build it up too much. But when you are sleep deprived you do get a little bit emotional.”
