Opening the show, Rochelle said: “Of course we want to start by sending our love, best wishes and respect to our Holly.”
Craig continued: “Last night Holly made what we know would have been a heartbreaking decision to leave This Morning after 14 years.”
Rochelle went on: “Holly loved her job here and was really looking forward to the future of the show. But recent events, especially in the last week, have been hard to deal with and she’s, quite rightly, putting her family first.”
Craig added: “On behalf of everyone here, in front and behind the camera, we just loved working with Holly. She made coming to work so much fun. We’re really really sad and we’re really going to miss her.”
Rochelle then said: “She will forever be one of us.”
Moving on with the show, Craig said: “But as Holly Willoughby knows only too well, the show must go on.”
‘She will forever be one of us.’
It’s the end of an era but we want to thank Holly for the last 14 years on This Morning. #ThisMorning pic.twitter.com/WPnCrY1U0i
