There were tears all round as the 65-year-old told viewers: "I think Loose Women is one of the most important shows on television, everyone relates to it.

"It's been incredible. I've been here for 14 years and when I first came here I was not in a good place, my husband had gone and I was not happy.

"These girls have been amazing – they’ve got me through everything."

 

She added: "Everybody out there, thank you for your following, for your caring and your love of me, my daughter and my family.

"I’ve told as much as I'm sure you will want to hear, so I'm going to be leaving Loose Women because it’s kind of time."

Quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sherrie joked: "I'll be back. Loose Women is in my DNA - it will never leave me."
