Beloved broadcaster Daniel Faitaua has revealed today he is leaving TVNZ's Breakfast show and 1 News Midday.

And his next big move has officially been announced ...

Faitaua has been appointed as the broadcaster's new Europe Correspondent!

Faitaua will head to London with his family in late August.

"After three years, I am sad to leave the Breakfast family, but I am excited and thrilled to take up one of the most coveted positions in New Zealand journalism. It’s been a dream job of mine since I enrolled in journalism school 11 years ago. It’s a job with immense prestige and I’ll provide a lens into what is going on in Europe," says Daniel.
