This Morning: Craig Doyle and Rochelle Humes discuss Holly’s exit
This Morning’s Holly Willoughby announced on her Instagram that she had decided to walk away from her presenting role after recent events surrounding her personal life.
Rochelle Humes and Craige Doyle addressed the news during Wednesday’s show and explained she would be deeply missed.
The opening titles were also changed to reflect how sad ITV were to see Holly go, and claimed it was an “end of an era”.
However, viewers of the show were left a little annoyed with the channel and all said the same thing about their tribute towards Holly.
Taking to their X, formerly known as Twitter, accounts, user @ChantalMascoe fumed: “#ThisMorning First acting like Phillip had died doing the same with Holly now.”

@toms96_ said: “Are they gonna put a slideshow up of Holly as if she’s dead tomorrow as a tribute like they did with Phil #ThisMorning.”
@NiDaton wrote: “Sorry have I missed something? Has she died? Why are they acting like she is. #ThisMorning.”

Addressing her exit at the beginning of the show, Rochelle said: “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’ve been a heartbreaking decision to leave This Morning after 14 years.
Rochelle went on: “Holly loved her job here and was looking really forward to the future of the show, but recent events, especially in the past week, have been hard to deal with as she’s quite rightly putting her family first.”
Craig has only recently joined the show alongside Holly, but noted: “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 all really, really sad and we’re going to miss her.”
