The journalist also promised viewers she would 'see you again someday'
Ellie Harrison has called time on her Countryfile career after 13 years hosting the BBC series. Ellie explained her reasons for stepping down and revealed quitting wasn't a decision she made lightly in her last ever Countryfile magazine column.
The journalist also promised viewers she would "see you again someday", reports The Mirror. She wrote: "After 13 years, my final column is a fond farewell to Countryfile - I'll miss the people, places and stories. 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." Ellie continued to reflect on environment issues and reminded readers that "our countryside is a gift", before going on to detail her reasons for bid farewell to the show."There are many things I'll miss," Ellie penned.
The mum-of-three added: "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.'" Ellie signed off her final column for Countryfile magazine telling fans: "I'll see you again someday." Ellie joined the Countryfile team in 2009 after starting her TV career on Channel 5 while hosting the children's show Milkshake! Countryfile's current presenting line-up consists of John Craven, Adam Henson, Matt Baker, Tom Heap, Paul Martin, Helen Skelton, Charlotte Smith, Steve Brown, Sean Fletcher and Anita Rani.
