This Morning stand-in host Rochelle Humes has paid tribute to Holly Willoughby following her exit, saying she was right to put Family First .
Willoughy announced on Tuesday she was quitting the ITV daytime programme after 14 years " for me and My Family ".
The presenter had been absent from The Show since last week, when A Man was charged in relation to an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her.
Humes began Wednesday's Show by sending her " love, Best Wishes and respect".
She told viewers: " Holly loved Her Job here and was really Looking Forward to The Future of The Show . But recent events, especially in The Past week, have been hard to deal with. And she's quite rightly put her Family First . "
Co-host Craig Doyle added that her decision to leave would have been " heartbreaking" one.
" On behalf of everyone here in front and behind the camera, we just loved working with Holly and she made coming to work so much fun, " He Said . " We're all really, really sad and we're really going to miss her. "
The opening credits of The Show - which Doyle noted Willoughby said " must go on" - carried slogans such as " end of an era" " family comes first" and " we will miss you".
Other current and former hosts have also paid tribute to Willoughby.
Alison Hammond replied to her news on Instagram, saying: " This is a very sad day! Love You . " Dermot O'Leary added: " Nothing but love and respect For You and yours. "
Richard Madeley has said Willoughby had done " a very brave, wise and courageous thing" by stepping down from the flagship daytime Show . He told ITV's Good Morning Britain she had done " exactly The Right thing" adding: " She will be back, No Question About That . "
Willoughby, 42, posted on Tuesday: " I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning . "
Her statement didn't refer directly to last week's alleged plot.
'I have to make this decision'Willoughby also thanked everybody who had worked on the programme, writing: " 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 . "
She added: " 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. "
ITV's Managing Director of media and entertainment Kevin Lygo said: " We Are sad that Holly is leaving This Morning , but respect her decision which we know will have been extremely difficult for her to make. "
She is " one of The Best loved, respected and most accomplished broadcasters in the UK" and " is adored by our viewers" He Said .
The News also arrived five months after The Show was engulfed in scandal when her former co-host Phillip Schofield left after
