Presenter Eamonn Holmes is quitting GMTV after 12 years, it was announced today

The breakfast TV favourite will bow out at the end of April.

Holmes has hosted the show since it began in 1993 and has partnered Fiona Phillips for the past nine years.

He said: "What a privilege it has been to wake up the nation over the years with stories that affected all our lives.

"I've covered every type of story imaginable at GMTV and it's the right time to move on.

"I'll particularly miss my partnership with Fiona Phillips and I wish her and all the rest of the team the very best for the future."

Phillips said: "This is our ninth year together - in fact, I have spent more time with Eamonn than I have with my own husband. I will miss him more than words can say."
