Read our privacy policy Sky News is facing criticism from viewers for interrupting its coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict to report the “breaking news” of Holly Willoughby’s This Morning exit. Shortly after Willoughby, 42, shared the news in a post on Instagram, Sky News journalist Mark Austin, who is on the ground in Jerusalem, abruptly pivoted the network’s war coverage to report on Willoughby. “Imagine reporting live from an active war zone and having to stop reporting on that for the ‘Breaking News’ that Holly Willoughby has left This Morning. “Interrupting live coverage of one of the most tragic events in decades to report on Holly Willoughby’s departure from a daytime TV show is simply beyond belief!” Sky News had no comment.
