Zoe Ball was seen leaving the Radio 2 studio for the last time after hosting her final breakfast show.
The presenter is handing over her morning show to Scott Mills and said her goodbyes to her audience on Friday. She had revealed on air last month that her time on the show was coming to an end, and she admitted on her final show that there had been tears shed.
And as she left the studios after her last show, she was looking visibly emotional. While presenting her last ever show, she was met with surprise messages from a number of stars, including Kylie Minogue. She told listeners she was feeling "all the emotions". She had earlier revealed the whole team were back together for her final farewell and said: "We've had some tears already. We don't quite know what to do with ourselves this morning, do we? I've come in and I suddenly can't remember how to press the button."
Meanwhile, another co-host confessed: "I wasn't sure which chair to sit in!," before Zoe added: "We're all pretending we're going to be OK, that the emotion isn't getting to us - but it's definitely getting to us. So hold tight! But Richie, so many nice comments yesterday - made me blub my eyes out!
"I've already had a little cry on Patrick! But we're going to have lots of fun today. We're playing some of my favourite records today - both Christmassy and non-Christmassy ones and we'll get through as many messages from the listeners as we can."
Speaking of her replacement, she said she "couldn't be happier" to see Scott taking on the show. She first hosted the morning show on January 14, 2019. Throughout her final offering, Zoe and the team played back a number of her favourite moments from over the years, while also sharing some of her favourite tunes.
And, before ending the show with Kim Wilde's Keeping the Dream Alive, Zoe said: "Thank you for tuning in, whether as a lone listener, as family, as a work Gang on your morning jogs, dog walks, truck drives, train commutes, or hiding in bed, it's been a real privilege to keep you company through your morning manoeuvres. You're just there and I'm just here having a chat with a mate. It's such a special, intimate relationship.
"It's never lost on me that we've been through life's little highs and little lows together. I really do hope that we've managed to bring some sunshine and light when you've most needed it. A daft distraction from the hardest stuff. I've been bowled over by your messages, texts, emails, cards and letters across the years. Thank you for sharing with me your stories of love and loss, your baby news, your kids leaving home. Together, listeners, there's been much laughter, some silliness, a few tears, lots of singing, and there has been dancing. May there always be dancing.
"Dear Scott will look after you in the new year. He's one of the good ones. You can have a lot of fun together, and I'll see you in the spring, popping up here on Radio 2 for new adventures, as the song says, You give a little love and it all comes back to you. Well, I've most definitely felt that love from your listeners. I feel very lucky to have been here. I sent buckets of love out to you and your dear ones this Christmas. It's been very special. Take care of yourselves, lovely peeps, my top cats."
