She then told viewers after pausing and taking a deep breath: "This is going to be tough."

Announcing her departure, over the weekend, she said: "I'm leaving Sky News and heading off on a new adventure.

"More info on that to come - but please join me for #Breakfast tomorrow and mid-morning on Monday for my last shifts.

"And please do send pictures of where you're watching from."
