The special tribute - which is due to air in December - featured shots of Carol with late presenter Richard Whiteley, which the 47-year-old beauty said made her feel "reunited" with her friend.

She said: "It was a very special send-off, especially when I saw Richard's face on screen.

"They showed all our mistakes and the tears flowed. But I can't believe it has come to an end - or how kind everyone has been."

She added: "I'm a lucky old bird to be adding up for 26 years."

Carol quit the show after being asked to take a 90 per cent pay cut from her reported £1.2million contract.Sports presenter Jeff Stelling is thought to be replacing current host Des O'Connor.
