Ellie Harrison has presented the show since 2009
"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.
"It has been a decision I've drawn out, such is the bond with the programme, and boy will I miss the geography field trips. But like all endings, I'll take all the lessons from these days forward with me on my journey."Explaining the reasons behind her departure, the 45-year-old continued: "There are many things I'll miss.
"The winds of change are blowing, my hands turn the tiller and I close my eyes to take comfort from Invictus: 'I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.'" Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, fans expressed their sadness over Ellie's exit. One person wrote: "She will be missed a lot," while another added: "Shame #EllieHarrison is leaving, she was my favourite presenter on #Countryfile."
A third person tweeted: "Sad to see you leave Countryfile as I liked you as a presenter but at least now the other presenters will be able to eat in peace now . Good luck for the future and your endeavours and adventures yet to come.". From there, Ellie went on to work as a freelance presenter, appearing on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and the Discovery Channel.
