Charlotte Hawkins was left gutted at the end of Friday's Good Morning Britain, when she made the announcement that one of her colleagues was leaving the show.
Charlotte fronted the ITV breakfast programme's final episode alongside Ben Shephard as they were joined by guests including comedian Adam Hills and weather host Laura Tobin issued an alarming prediction about next week's soaring temperatures.
It was at the end of her and Ben's chat with Last Leg star Adam that Charlotte briefly paused proceedings to break the news that GMB editor Rosaleen Poole would soon be moving onto pastures new. Charlotte told viewers at home: "Now, just before we go, we are saying goodbye to our editor Rosaleen Poole, who is sadly leaving us."

As Rosaleen's picture appeared on screen, Charlotte continued: "She's been with us since the start of Good Morning Britain as a bulletin editor, senior producer, programme editor...she's leaving us on Monday."
Jumping in, Ben explained: "We were just reminiscing this morning, Charlotte and I once did a show where we had a dog in a tea cup, it was so small and Rosaleen said: 'I think that was my show.'"
He added: "From dogs in a tea cup to the legend that is Adam Hills; what a way to finish."
Minutes before Charlotte and Ben paid tribute to Rosaleen, he was embroiled in an unlikely spat with studio guest Andi Peters over a t-shirt the ex CBBC star wore on GMB earlier in the week, with their rather fraught exchange ending with Andi challenging Ben to a fight.
