ITV’s morning telly fave Ross King, 62, got all emotional on air as he said his goodbyes to a beloved colleague during Lorraine.
While having a chinwag with Christine Lampard, who’s stepping in for Lorraine Kelly, they spoke about Tinseltown’s latest from Harry and Meghan’s screen comeback to the never-ending saga of Brangelina. But then Ross got serious, announcing that his producer, Hannah Walker, was waving goodbye to the show.
Amid some quirky dance moves and a touch of the blues, Ross spilled to the viewers: “Weird dancing but with a little bit of sadness as my wonderful pal and producer Hannah Walker, it’s her last day on this show. So Hannah, I want to say to you, huge hugs from Hollywood, lots of real love from La La Land.”

He poured out his heart with the words: “You will be missed, but we’ll see you again soon enough and hope to see you again too, take care, lots of love, thanks for everything,” and sealed it with a smooch towards the camera. Christine was all hearts for the sweet send-off, saying: “Aw we love that,” and gave Ross a big thank you for his touching tribute, reports Bristol Live.

Ross has been owning it in Tinseltown as ITV’s LA correspondent for Good Morning Britain since 2014 and a regular face on Lorraine Kelly’s show since 2001. The telly fave hit a milestone 60th birthday in February 2022, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Lorraine pulled out all the stops with a surprise that had his celeb pals sending love during his usual slot on her hit ITV programme.
Meanwhile, Lorraine is kicking back, enjoying some well-deserved R&R, taking another day off this week as she sticks to her planned break schedule. It’s no shocker to see her take a breather during the school hols, leaving the reins to trusty stand-ins like Christine and Ranvir Singh.
