Deeley, who recently joined the programme as a permanent host alongside Shephard, delivered the bombshell news with her characteristic professionalism, though the significance of the announcement was clear to all watching.
"The atmosphere in the studio became electric as Cat began speaking about the changes," reported an on-set source. "Even Ben seemed taken aback by the magnitude of what was being revealed."

Viewers took to social media platforms within minutes of the announcement, with the show's name quickly trending across the UK.
- Many expressed shock at the sudden nature of the changes
- Some longtime viewers voiced concerns about the programme's future direction

The announcement comes during a period of significant transition for the long-running morning programme, which has been a staple of British television for decades.
