DAN Walker paid a heart-warming tribute to his former BBC Breakfast co-presenter, Carol Kirkwood with a surprising selfie.
In 2016, Dan replaced Bill Turnbull as presenter of BBC Breakfast.

To mark the BBC's 40th Anniversary, Dan took to Instagram and shared a rare selfie with his former co-star, Carol Kirkwood branding her the "best".
He captioned the post: "Happy 40th birthday to BBC Breakfast. It was a real privilege to sit on the famous sofa for 6 years."
He continued: "It is a special programme, made by an brilliant, dedicated team and it continues to be an important show for the huge, loyal audience."

The former BBC presenter concluded with: "Also… Carol is the best."
Carol, 60, joined BBC Breakfast in the summer of the show’s launch in 1983 as a production secretary.
She then left and returned a few times over the years in different roles before joining the show as a weather presenter in 1998.
Carol is now the longest-serving presenter on BBC Breakfast – which celebrates its 40th anniversary this week – and has had her share of embarrassing blunders while on air.

BBC Breakfast airs daily from 6am on BBC One.
