Fiona Phillips to leave GMTV

GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips is leaving the ITV breakfast broadcaster after 15 years.

The 47-year-old said her decision to leave was "the hardest decision I have ever made", adding: "I love the job."

"I've got other responsibilities. The children, a home life and an elderly dad who needs me - and I've recognised that I can't have it all," she said.

Phillips has been GMTV Today's main presenter since 1996. She will leave the programme at Christmas.

She joined GMTV when it launched in 1993 as an entertainment correspondent.

Phillips then spent two years as the Los Angeles reporter before landing the top job on the sofa.

GMTV's director of programming Peter McHugh said she would be "sorely missed".

He added: "But after all those years of getting up at 4am we can understand why she wants a change.

"Her honesty and openness have helped make GMTV the success it is. She is a tough act to follow.

"But she's not going until Christmas which gives us plenty of opportunity to organise lots of leaving dos."

Phillips is married to GMTV's programme editor Martin Frizell and the couple have two young sons.

Her agent said she would continue with other TV projects.

"Fiona is leaving GMTV but she is not leaving television," her agent said.

Apperentley she is getting a 2 mil pay off LOL.

1 down, 3 to go :cheer2:

I don't ever watch it any more but when I did, she annoyed the **** out of me.

Oh I like Fiona. I wonder which one will take her place? I think it'll be Kate Garraway.

Hope so, shes one of three at GMTV I actually like, I hate the rest.

I liked her, she made me laugh. I hope Penny takes over her slot, she's hilarious.

Hahaha.... Is she?

GOOD :D Hated her...

Yay, I'm so glad the fake bitch.

Penny and Kate are sooo much better.

I wish Eamon would come back :sad:

I will miss Fiona, she always made me laugh on a mornng - shes very bubbly!

I hope they get someone else in, I do like Kate but theres some better morning presenters on other channels that they could "poach"

I love Penny too, I hope it's either her or Kate who gets it. Somebody new would be weird.

Oh thankgod for that she had a habit of always talking about her life when different issues come on saying "Oh yeah that happened to me the other day in so and so" and "Yeah i have that trouble etc .
