“I’ll be heading back to the fiscally responsible job of being a touring stand-up,” Harley said on-air on Tuesday. “It was by no means an easy decision. But it’s absolutely the right one.”

Radio host Em also wished her co-host all the best live on-air.

“I’m very sad,” the 36-year-old said tearing up. “I’m going to miss you. Thank you for doing this with me.”

They both insisted they are parting ways on good terms and as “great mates”.
