00:00 Hello and welcome to your Wednesdays this morning.

00:03 And of course, we want to start by sending our love,

00:06 best wishes and respect to our Holly.

00:09 Last night, Holly made what we know will have been

00:11 a heartbreaking decision to leave this morning

00:13 after 14 years.

00:14 Holly loved her job here and was really looking forward

00:17 to the future of the show.

00:19 But recent events, especially in the past week,

00:22 have been hard to deal with.

00:24 And she's quite rightly put in her family first.

00:27 On behalf of everyone here and front and behind the camera,

00:31 we just loved working with Holly.

00:33 And she made coming to work so much fun.

00:34 We're all really, really sad.

00:36 And we're really going to miss her.

00:37 Holly said she's incredibly proud of what

00:39 she's achieved on this show.

00:40 And so are we.

00:42 She will forever be one of us.

00:44 But as Holly Willoughby knows only too well,

00:48 the show must go on.
