“It wasn’t just months, it was probably even longer than that,” she explained.

“In the end, my husband always said, ‘There will be a moment.’ And the moment was very specific because it had been going around my head so much.”

She added she felt “out of balance” in her life and wanted to explore what lay beyond BBC Breakfast, despite loving it so much.

“In life, I’ve tried to be brave,” Louise continued. “I don’t even know if it was the right decision – I think it was but sometimes you have to jump off the ferry and that was the time.”
