Vanessa Feltz is set to leave This Morning after 33 years on the show.
The veteran broadcaster, 64, has been a regular contributor to the ITV programme but will be stepping away because of her commitment to her new 5 show Vanessa.
The upcoming series will launch on March 24 at 12.45pm and promises to cover a wide range of topics including celebrities, gossip, fashion, relationships and parenting.
She told the Daily Star: ‘When I told everyone I wouldn’t be able to do the show anymore, they were lovely about it. I heard from Alison Hammond and Holly Willoughby immediately and the bosses were charming. I’ll miss working with them all.’
Vanessa added that she had learned a great amount from the stars she had worked with in her three decades on the popular morning show.
‘I have learned lots of stuff on This Morning,’ she said. ‘When I first did it, I had never been on TV before. I didn’t know what was going on. I was bamboozled but theygave me a contract.’

The TV personality hosted an eponymous ITV show between 1994 and 1998, boosting her to stardom, and the upcoming series on 5 is a callback to the old Vanessa.
She explained: ‘This show is all about YOU – your stories, your opinions, your emotions, and your triumphs. Television’s never been so real, honest, or unpredictable..kick off your shoes and come and join me for lunch, relax with a bit of me time and let’s have a ball.’
The mother-of-two has been a prominent figure in British broadcasting for more than three decades.
She first gained national recognition in the 1990s with The Vanessa Show on ITV, which ran from 1994 to 1998, before moving to the BBC, where she presented a range of radio and television programmes, including on BBC One and Radio 2.
In 2022, she left the BBC after nearly 20 years, citing a desire to embrace new challenges and opportunities. She then joined TalkTV, where she hosted her own show for two years.
In 2023, Vanessa left her role as a presenter on TalkTV as the news channel underwent a major shake-up.
And Vanessa showed she was moving on quickly by flaunting her dramatic weight loss on Thursday during the opening night of Clueless: The Musical at the Trafalgar Theatre.
The star wore a shiny silver midi dress which hugged her figure and featured long sleeves, pairing the show-stopping item with sparkly gold boots with pointed toes.
She accessorised with sequin circle earrings and appeared elated to be watching the show as she put on a huge smile and wore a large grey fur coat.
