Ellie Harrison has quit Countryfile after 13 years in a bid to focus on her family and grow her business.
Ellie, 45, joined Countryfile in 2009 after starting her broadcasting career on Channel 5 hosting children's TV show Milkshake! The Countryfile cast consists of John Craven, Adam Henson, Matt Baker, Tom Heap, Paul Martin, Helen Skelton, Charlotte Smith, Steve Brown, Sean Fletcher, and Anita Rani.
Ellie continued: "After 13 years, my final column is a fond farewell to Countryfile - I'll miss the people, places and stories. Thirteen-and-a-half years after I arrived four hours early for my first Countryfile shoot, which culminated in me commuting up Yr Wyddfa to deliver Matt Baker a sandwich of freshly harvested mushrooms, it has come time for me to bid you farewell.
"There are many things I'll miss," Ellie penned. "I've come to realise that I don't need to navigate to a whole new ocean or even a new sea, but to chart a new course somewhere in these waters, raising my three wonderful children, growing our family business and following my own creative calling to produce art of my own making.
