"Commercially, I delivered all-time record ratings and, creatively, I was left alone to mould a show of which I was intensely proud.
"Sincere thanks to Scott, Liam, Steve, Dennie, Kathryn and those I've worked with, plus to my wonderful cast of c-presenters. I cannot thank you enough.
"Most importantly thanks for listening."
