“For my parents and my friends and family. It certainly takes a village to help a mother of three get a job like this on TV and I couldn’t have done it without all of you. So thank you for picking up the shards,” she continued.

Carrie’s 10-minute speech came after two touching tributes from fellow panelists Peter Helliar and Waleed Aly.
“You exude generosity and warmth and that is reflected back to us by the amazing audience. Everything starts with you. I can’t wait to see what you do next,’ said Peter.
