    Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid has spoken out following her ITV co-star Holly Willoughby\u2019s shock exit from This Morning.<\/p>\n

    The ITV show returned for another instalment on Wednesday (October 11) with Susanna and Ed Balls back at the helm. And one of the hot topics on the programme was news that Holly had quit the ITV daytime show after 14 years. <\/p>\n

    The TV star confirmed that she will not be returning to the famous blue sofa in an emotional message to fans. She decided to leave her job "for me and my family" after missing episodes of the programme after a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter.<\/p>\n

    And on Wednesday (October 11) Susanna was quick to send her well wishes to Holly during an episode of GMB. She began: \u201cI just want to open the show by sending, I\u2019m sure, all of our best wishes to Holly Willoughby, who has made what is clearly the difficult decision to step down from This Morning on ITV daytime after 14 years at the programme.\u201d <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Susanna added: \u201cShe\u2019s clearly made the right decision for her and her family, as she says, a very difficult goodbye, but family first.\u201d The journalist went on: \u201cOur very best wishes to Holly, a beloved colleague. I\u2019ll miss seeing her walking past as she goes to work.\u201d <\/p>\n

    Susanna\u2019s co-host Ed then chimed in to have his say. He said \u201cShe\u2019s had such a tough year, but you feel confident that she\u2019ll be back on television soon, we don\u2019t know when but she\u2019s a total star, so it\u2019ll be a big loss.\u201d<\/p>\n

    It comes after Piers Morgan showed his support to Holly following her shock exit. Speaking on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, the broadcaster told viewers: "It\u2019s clearly shaken her so badly she\u2019s walked away from one of the top jobs in television.<\/p>\n

    He then referenced the recent Netflix documentary, Who Killed Jill Dando? which revisits the unsolved 1999 murder of beloved TV presenter Jill Dando. The dad-of-four continued: "With the Jill Dando documentary on Netflix right now\u2026 I really feel for her. I\u2019ve known Holly a long time. [It\u2019s] terrifying."<\/p>\n

    Reflecting on Holly's statement, where she explained she made the decision to step back because it was the best thing for her family, Piers added: "[The] last line said it all to me. This is because she has got young kids, she\u2019s thinking, \u2018My God this is not worth it, I\u2019ve got one of the best jobs in telly, so what. There is some lunatic out there\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
