Holly Willoughby is exiting This Morning after 14 years.
The presenter has said she is leaving the show “for me and my family” in a statement shared on Instagram.
“To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together. Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you,” Willoughby’s statement read.
Willoughby continued to say it was an “honor” to be a part of the show and she will “miss you all so much.”
Willoughby’s permanent exit comes after she left the show on indefinite leave following a police investigation that foiled a 36-year-old man’s plan to kidnap the presenter. The man was arrested and charged with soliciting to commit murder.

A 36-year-old man has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged plot to kidnap British TV presenter Holly Willoughby.
The accused, Gavin Plumb, has been charged with “soliciting to commit murder, incitement to commit rape, and incitement to commit kidnap.” He will appear in court today.
Willoughby did not appear on Thursday’s edition of her daytime ITV show This Morning. The presenter is said to have been under police protection at her home on Thursday night.
Essex Police said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday and is currently in custody. Multiple media reports state the 36-year-old is not known to Willoughby. It is still unclear how police became aware of the alleged kidnap plot, but The Sun newspaper first reported that a mobile phone and other digital devices were seized during the arrest.
The Sun’s report states that police alerted This Morning producers to the plot early Thursday morning,...

Welcome back to the Supporting Actress Smackdown. Each month we pick an Oscar vintage to explore through the lens of actressing at the edges. This episode takes us back to 1986.
The Nominees For the 1986 film year the Academy honored three newbies the latter of whom would become a two-time winner, and welcomed back two veterans (two time winner Maggie Smith and previous nominee Piper Laurie). The characters assembled were a nosy cousin, a savvy girlfriend, a neurotic actress, a spinster chaperone, and an estranged mother.
The Panelists Here to talk about these performances and films with your host Nathaniel are two regular Tfe voices Cláudio Alves and Lynn Lee as well as civil rights attorney / cinephile Jonathan Diaz, and writer/cartoonist Rob Kirby.

Graham Burke, the Australian film industry veteran, is to step down from Village Roadshow by the end of the year. His move follows a period of feuding among the family owners, and significant corporate restructuring.
Describing the 2018-19 financial year, which runs to June, as a “reset and transition to FY20,” the group presented a financial result for the six months to December that it claimed showed recovery. Revenue from continuing operations increased by 3% from A$515 million in the equivalent half year, to $375 million (A$528 million). It incurred net losses of $250,000.
Village said that it will seek a new CEO to replace Burke, and that Burke will stay with the company until the end of 2019, as a non-executive director to ensure a smooth transition. It acknowledged that Clark Kirby, chairman and CEO of Village’s theme parks business, is to be considered as an internal candidate.
Burke, now 77, joined the...

Peter Tseng Billionaire wine collector
A new Australian documentary about the international wine industry will see a theatrical release from major distributor, Roadshow Films.
Red Obsession is produced by Lion Rock Films with David Roach writing and co-directing and Warwick Ross producing and co-directing.
The film, made for just over $1m is currently in post-production.
With a letter of intent from Roadshow, the film is expected in cinemas in early 2013.
Only nine documentaries were released to theatres in 2011, none by any of the major distributors.
Red Obsession’s story of the international wine trade is the backbone to discuss the impact China’s growing influence is having in various industries.
Roach told Encore: “It’s a documentary about wine, but its also about the shift of economic power from West to East. In Australia we look to China to buy our raw material – How much should we buy into their...
