Kate Garraway has left her fans feeling 'sad' as she reunited with Ben Shephard for one of the last times on Good Morning Britain. After working together for decades the pair are being separated as Ben heads for pastures new on This Morning.
It was revealed last week that Ben is now the new co-host of the ITV daytime show alongside Cat Deeley. This Morning has had a number of rotating presenters since Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's departures within months of each other last year, including Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle and Rylan.
Cat last fronted This Morning back in November alongside both Rylan Clark and Craig Doyle, while Ben last hosted the show in September alongside Holly before she quit in October. But from March, it's Cat and Ben who will be This Morning's permanent hosts from Monday through to Thursday while Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary continue to present their usual Friday show.

After the news was revealed, Ben paid tribute to his GMB co-hosts including Kate and Susanna Reid. He said: "Ten years has flown by at GMB. I’ve loved every minute, (well not those minutes immediately after the alarm goes off at 3.30am) but all the others have been incredible.
"As have these amazing women I’ve been lucky enough to sit alongside, work with, laugh with and on the odd occasions drink with! I will miss working with them and the whole team - and I’m very grateful that they are just next door so that whenever I get nostalgic I know they aren’t too far away."
Meanwhile, Kate also shared her reaction and said in a post to her own Instagram page:
