Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes quit show after affair rumours
It's been confirmed that Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes will be leaving the show following rumours of an alleged affair.
The confirmation comes just hours after inside sources told outlets that the pair would likely have to step down from their roles following internal "mediation".
ABC then released a statement saying, "After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News.
"We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions. A decision for new co-hosts [of GMA3 and 20/20] will come later."

The mediation the co-hosts underwent was reportedly "extremely contentious", being labelled a "witch hunt" by an insider who commented to TMZ.
Among the allegations made in the review process was that alcohol was found in Robach's dressing room, and that she has shown up "drunk" to work after attending the College Football National Championship last year
Insiders rebuked the "insane" claim, calling it "ridiculous" as the alcohol bottles were gifted by ABC executives, and that Robach was simply "tired" after the sports event last year.
