It came after she bid farewell to ITV flagship show This Morning after 33 years at the show.Article continues belowWith Vanessa officially on the air on rival Channel 5, former Celebrity Big Brother star Vanessa has now broken her silence on her exit from the show. She admitted that she was already missing the show “terribly” and had secretly wished that she could continue her stint on This Morning, despite moving channels.Vanessa said that she was going to miss her family at This Morning tremendouslySpeaking to Heart Bingo, the daytime chat show host explained that the decision to leave This Morning did not come lightly. “It is emotional leaving This Morning,” she explained, “I absolutely love that show.”When I first did it in 1992, I was just 30, and I’ve been on that show all these years, and I’ve never been bored by it,” she beamed. “I think it’s a very clever show, I think it’s very warm and inviting, and I think it’s got something for everyone.”She went on to explain that the variety of items on the show such as fashion and cooking appealed to her greatly. On top of this, she beamed: “I really do consider the team and crew at This Morning my actual friends.”She joked that she would have loved to be on both ITV and Channel 5 simultaneouslyWhen asked about whether she preferred to keep her gig at This Morning, Vanessa said she would have leapt at the opportunity. She conceded that she “obviously understood” that she could be on two rival broadcasters at the same time.”But knowing me, I would have squeezed in a quick This Morning and then rushed over on the back of a bike to do my own show on Channel 5,” the star joked. “I would have been perfectly comfortable doing that, but I don’t think it’s considered best practise to go from one show to another on different channels.”Vanessa has been a staple of TV in Britain since she burst onto our screens in 1994 with her chat show, also titled Vanessa.

For comparison, ITV daytime fave Loose Women – which was airing at the same time as Vanessa’s show – brought in a whopping 686,000 viewers, almost eight times as many viewers.However, despite the complaints that came in during the broadcast, Vanessa was unfazed, choosing instead to take the trolls head on.
