Fiona Phillips quits GMTV
TV presenter Fiona Phillips is leaving GMTV after 12 years to devote more time to her children and her elderly father.
The 47-year-old will leave at the end of this year. She said it was "the hardest decision I have ever made".
"I love the job but I've got other responsibilities - the children, a home life and an elderly dad who needs me - and I've recognised that I can't have it all," she said.
Phillips has been the GMTV breakfast show's main anchor since 1996, after joining in 1993 as entertainment correspondent.
GMTV's director of programming Peter McHugh said she would be sorely missed.
The presenter is married to the programme editor Martin Frizell and the couple have two sons - Nathanial, 9, and Mackenzie, 6. Her agent said she was leaving GMTV but not TV completely.
