Sky News faces backlash after reporting Holly Willoughby’s This Morning exit from war zone
Sky News has been criticised by viewers for reporting the breaking news of Holly Willoughby's exit from ITV's This Morning live from a war zone, where they'd been covering the Israel-Hamas conflict. After presenting the daytime programme for 14 years, the 42-year-old posted a statement on her social media where announced she would not be returning to the show. Sky News presenter Mark Austin has been reporting live on the ground in Jerusalem about the Israel-Hamas conflict when coverage suddenly changed to the news on Willoughby leaving. “Let’s get some news away from here now,” Austin said, from on a hillside at night time with the landscape of the country's capital in the background. “Presenter Holly Willoughby has told ITV that she will not return to host This Morning." He added: “She has not returned to the show since a man was charged last week with an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her.” Then Sky News studio correspondent Shamaan Freeman-Powell also added more details to the coverage surrounding the TV presenter's departure. After this, viewers took to social media to criticise the broadcaster's choice of announcing this showbiz news from a war zone, calling it a "parody," "tasteless," and "utterly bizarre." In her farewell statement to the Willoughby wrote: "To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together. Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you." "Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day. "Richard and Judy said ‘we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers’. "It’s been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go... I will miss you all so much." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Miley Cyrus reveals the brutal work schedule she had when she was 12-years-old
Miley Cyrus has given an insight into how hectic her schedule was at a young age during her Hannah Montana days. In her "Use To Be Young," TikTok video series, the 30-year-old recalled the grueling routine that saw her waking up at 5:30 a.m. to get ready for 12 hours worth of interviews (from 7:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.). While she was busy on Friday, this jam-packed schedule continued into Saturday from 7 am to 7:30 pm, after this Cyrus would fly home on the Sunday for her day off. But she wouldn't be there for long since when Monday quickly rolled around the next day, she had to be back to continue filming for Hannah Montana. “I’m a lot of things but lazy is not one of them," Cyrus said about her work ethic and laughed. @mileycyrus Used To Be Young (Series) - PART 12 People expressed their sympathies with Cyrus for having to work such long hours at a young One person said: "No wonder she was so DONE when Hannah Montana ended. girly needed a break, at the time I didn’t understand why she didn’t want anything to do with it." "How was this allowed??? This is only in a day. Imagine years on this + doing 71 shows tours + recording albums + doing shows + school everyday +family," another person wrote. Someone else added: "Our girl really deserves her ENDLESS SUMMER VACATION." "People wonder why she was so wild in her early 20s, it’s because she missed out on being a real teenager," a fourth person commented. The Flowers singer also revealed why she announced back in May that a tour for her record "Endless Summer Vacation," probably wouldn't happen. "That’s what people don’t really understand about touring — is the show is only 90 minutes, but that’s your life,” Cyrus said. “If you’re performing at a certain level of intensity and excellence, there should be an equal amount of recovery and rest. There’s a level of ego that has to play a part that I feel gets overused when I’m on tour. And once that switch is on, it’s hard to turn it off. I think when you’re training your ego, every single night to be active — that’s the hardest switch for me to turn off.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
