SUSANNA Reid has broken her silence on ITV co-star Holly Willoughby's This Morning exit.<\/p>\n
The presenter, 42, quit her anchor role on the daytime series yesterday, after 14 years at the helm.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
Holly made the\u00a0shocking revelation\u00a0in an\u00a0Instagram post following a traumatic week after an alleged plot to kidnap her was revealed.<\/p>\n
Susanna, 52, opened Wednesday's Good Morning Britain by sending mum-of-three Holly her "very, very best wishes" as she dubbed her a "beloved" colleague.<\/p>\n
Wearing a stylish sleeveless green and white-print top with cream trousers, the ITV star broke her silence as soon as the opening credits rolled at 6am.<\/p>\n
Talking the lead in the chat, she said: "I just want to open the show by sending I'm sure all of our best wishes to Holly Willoughby who has made what is clearly a difficult decision to step down from This Morning on ITV daytime after 14 years at the programme.<\/p>\n
"And she's clearly made the right decision for her and her family as she says, a very difficult goodbye.<\/p>\n "But family first."<\/p>\n She finished off her tribute by saying: "So our very, very best wishes to Holly – a beloved colleague.<\/p>\n "I will miss seeing her walking past as she goes to work."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n GMB co-host Ed Balls, 56, agreed and added: "She's had such a tough year but you feel confident that she will be back on television soon.<\/p>\n "We don't know when.<\/p>\n "But she's a total star and it will be a big loss."<\/p>\n The majority of Holly's fans were in bits at her announcement.<\/p>\n Yet some GMB fans questioned if Susanna's message at the top of the show was appropriate.<\/p>\n One wrote: "Hi Susanna. Absolutely disgraceful that you made such a big thing about Holly at 6:02am this morning. There's a war in Gaza."<\/p>\n Another put: "GMB Have reached a new low with Holly\u2019s departure and the use of Breast Milk. There are more important events we would like to know about\u2026\u2026"<\/p>\n A third simply added: "Holly Willoughby is not dead @GMB Yesterday, Holly's This Morning exit statement was revealed in full.<\/p>\n Holly wrote on Instagram: "I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.<\/p>\n "To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much..<\/p>\n "This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we've done together.<\/p>\n "Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.<\/p>\n "Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You've been so loyal so supportive and the very best company every day.<\/p>\n "Richard and Judy said 'we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers'.<\/p>\n "It's been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go.<\/p>\n "Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family.<\/p>\n "I will miss you all so much.<\/p>\n "Holly."<\/p>\n It comes just days after\u00a0Gavin Plumb, 36, was accused of\u00a0contacting a US \u201chitman\u201d\u00a0as part of a plan to snatch Holly in a kidnap threat.<\/p>\n The 35-stone shopping centre security officer appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates'\u00a0Court\u00a0on Friday to face the charges – soliciting to commit murder and\u00a0incitement to commit kidnap\u00a0– with\u00a0Holly\u00a0as the alleged target.<\/p>\n<\/picture>GREEN GODDESS <\/span><\/p>\n
