Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes spoken out on their This Morning axe and wished Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary well.
The ITV show recently confirmed that Eamonn and Ruth, both 60, are being replaced as they're leaving their Friday morning slot on the popular programme.
From January 8, 2021, the Friday episode will be presented by Alison and Dermot.
After the news was confirmed, Ruth and Eamonn made a statement and sent well wishes to the presenters replacing them.
Ruth tweeted: "It's a changing of the guard on Fridays from January. We hope you make Alison and Dermot as welcome as you’ve made us over the years.
"Have a Ball you two ! It's not Goodbye from us, it’s simply Au Revoir until the next half term."
Ruth's hubby Eamonn tweeted the same statement on his social media page.
This Morning's official Twitter made the announcement on Monday afternoon.
They said: "We are pleased to announce that Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary are set to join the This Morning family as regular hosts.
"The duo will share hosting duties with Phillip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, Eamonn Holmes OBE and Ruth Langsford from January 2021."
Alison Hammond has also made a statement about her new This Morning hosting duties.
She said: "I never dreamt that when I first joined This Morning – initially for a few months – that I would still be there 19 years later.
"I genuinely care about the show and the viewers who watch, so it’s a huge privilege and honour to be hosting a show I adore so much. I’m just really excited to be doing even more of what I love alongside the lovely Dermot."
Co-host Dermot said: "I'm deeply thrilled and honoured to be joining the This Morning team next year.
"Above all, we want to have fun and for you to be able to kick your weekend off with a smile, especially given the year we've all had. So I'm delighted to be co-hosting with the living embodiment of sunshine on a rainy day. I can't wait to get started."
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
