This Morning star breaks silence on mysterious show absence – after vanishing from the sofa for a YEAR

A THIS Morning star has broken their silence on their mysterious show absence – after vanishing from the sofa for a YEAR.

Holly Jay-Smith, who appeared on the show doing money saving tips, was known on This Morning as the coupon queen.

But in March of this year she posted about the fact that she’d been axed from the show.

Disappointed fans took to the comment section to ask if she'd been given the opportunity to return.

But the heartbroken star replied: "I offered but they replied saying they had moved on (which is perfectly fine). Would have loved to have a last show tho."

Now, Holly has taken to social media to speak on her mystery show absence.

She penned on her Instagram story: “The fact that I haven’t been on This Morning for over a year and people still tag me and say they miss me means so much.

“But please be king to anyone else doing the ‘money-saving’ segments on the show – it’s not fair to compare us or pit us against each other. Much love x.”

Holly ended her post by tagging This Morning.

Holly, who has autism, previously said she struggled to move on after she was axed.

In a lengthy post, she wrote: "Over the past few months, I’ve been feeling down about something that ‘was,’ instead of remembering how great it was.

"As an autistic person, it’s hard to move on from something when you never received closure. It also has a habit of making you replay one negative experience over and over in your head, causing you to forget the hours upon hours of amazing times, the people you met, and the friends you made.

"ITV’s Morning rescued me from a dark place and allowed me to share my special interest with millions of people every single Friday for nearly two years.

"So… to the presenters who I spent every week with, thank you for taking the time to understand my disability, for helping me get through the weeks where I was struggling and just for being amazing people.

"To the floor managers, hosts, producers, assistant producers, the makeup team, the art department, the cameramen and women (and everyone else behind the scenes) you are the glue that holds the show together. I thank you for putting a smile on my face every week."

Alice Beer and Martin Lewis are often on hand now, on This Morning, to share their money saving tips.
