00:00 I think, and Judy agrees with me,
00:01 we were talking about this
00:02 when we heard the news yesterday afternoon,
00:04 that Holly's done a very brave and wise and courageous thing.
00:07 I mean, we know here in the building,
00:10 I mean, 'cause the Smalling Studio
00:12 is just a few yards away through the bricks,
00:14 we know that Holly genuinely puts family first, as you do.
00:17 She puts her family first and her career second,
00:19 and that really is the order.
00:20 Now, people watching don't know that,
00:22 they just see Holly the professional,
00:24 but she does put it first.
00:25 And I think, given the year that she's had,
00:27 all the things that she's had to put up with,
00:29 and then this terrible thing that happened last week
00:31 that I know we can't talk about because it's under law,
00:34 given that she's done the show for 14 years,
00:37 which is a year longer than Judy and I did it
00:38 when we left, you know,
00:40 I think it's given her a chance
00:41 to sort of step back and take stock.
00:43 And she's put her family first,
00:45 she's gonna focus on them for a while.
00:47 She'll come back, not to this morning,
00:48 but she'll come back to do something else on telly.
