Half the time I don't know what I'm talking about and I'm winging it, but it's been great. And I hope that I've made lots of people smile and I've brought a little bit of joy and silliness to people's lives via the TV."
She added: "So, today's my last day, it's been amazing, I've really enjoyed it. A big shout out to everyone at Good Morning Britain. The make-up artists, hair stylists, the runners, the producers, everyone! You've all been great, I've really enjoyed it. And today, I'm on with our Nigel, and I can't bloomin wait! It's because I've missed him, he makes me chuckle. So, make sure you're all tuning in to Good Morning Britain today, around about 9ish. And it's an eclipse day, it's going to be a very full on, full day. Have a wonderful and blessed day!"
