Helen Skelton has bid farewell to BBC's Morning Live for the year.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, who became a permanent fixture on the show in January, has been presenting with Rav Wilding over the past few days while her usual co-host Gethin Jones continues his stint in a pantomime production of Cinderella.
Taking to Instagram, Skelton thanked Wilding and confirmed that yesterday's (December 19) show would be her last until 2025.

"Over and out 2024. Thanks for a great last few days @ravwilding," she wrote, before going on to thank her glam team for "making work not work".
She continued: "To work with ladies and gents who want to do a good job and know you need to get out on time for the kids' carol concert is the ultimate pay day.

"Crazy proud of the content my colleagues are making. We hope it helps you in any small way. Taking nothing for granted. Here’s to loading up the cheese board and putting home alone on repeat."
Skelton concluded the post with a sweet message to Gethin Jones, writing: "Looking forward to having you back in 2025 @gethincjones."

Elsewhere, it was announced over the summer that Skelton is teaming up with Dan Walker for another travel show, after the pair fronted Dan & Helen's Pennine Adventure last year.
Details on the new show are yet to be revealed, but Walker confirmed in June that filming was about to begin.
"Some lovely news... we are about to start filming a new travel series for @channel5_tv," he wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of himself and Skelton.
"Watch this space for more details. We'll let you know when you can watch us wandering around together as soon as we can (champagne optional)."
