Late last week, a man was arrested for allegedly hiring someone to kidnap and kill This Morning’s Holly Willoughby. And ever since then, she has been on a break from the series.
Today, the host announced that she has decided to leave the talk show permanently.
I’ve let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.
To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together. Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.
Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.
Richard and Judy said ‘we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers’. It’s been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go. Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family.
I will miss you all so much.
Holly
I am praying that she gets through this difficult scary time.
This has been a tough year on This Morning. Phillip Schofield, her co-anchor, was forced to leave the show in May when it was revealed that he had a secret affair with a much younger employee on the show.
