Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it involves a beloved TV personality leaving a cherished morning show. But here's where it gets emotional: ITV star Tyler West has officially quit his role as the entertainment reporter on Lorraine, leaving fans and colleagues alike in a state of fond farewell. On Thursday’s episode (January 22), the iconic Scottish presenter Lorraine Kelly couldn’t hide her sentiments, exclaiming, ‘I can’t bear it! We’ll miss you so much,’ as she bid adieu to her talented co-star. But what’s next for Tyler? And this is the part most people miss: His departure isn’t just about leaving—it’s about a thrilling new chapter. Tyler, a 29-year-old dynamo known for Celebrity Race Across The World and Strictly Come Dancing, is stepping into the spotlight as the new host of KISS FM’s breakfast show alongside Love Island’s Chloe Burrows. This exciting move, starting in February, means he’ll be trading weekday mornings on Lorraine for early riser antics on the radio. But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this a step up, or will Tyler’s absence leave a void on Lorraine that’s hard to fill? Lorraine herself seems confident, declaring, ‘KISS FM are very lucky to have you!’ But what do you think? Is radio the right move for Tyler, or will TV miss his charismatic presence? Speaking of his new role, Tyler promised ‘big laughs and bigger tunes,’ adding, ‘It’s gonna be carnage!’ But let’s not forget his recent adventures—Tyler and his fiancée, EastEnders actress Molly Rainford, came in second on Celebrity Race Across The World, narrowly losing to Roman Kemp and his sister Harleymoon. And this is the part most people miss: While Tyler’s departure is bittersweet, Lorraine isn’t left empty-handed. Fresh from the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Vogue Williams is stepping in as the new entertainment reporter, bringing her own brand of showbiz sparkle to the show. So, as one door closes, another opens—but the question remains: Will Tyler’s radio gig live up to his TV legacy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think this is a bold career move, or will TV be the real loser here?
