Habboo hosted the show alongside her best friend Melissa Tattam since 2021, but confirmed she would be stepping down to focus on motherhood.

She broke down in tears as she told listeners she wanted to balance being the best mum she can be with the opportunities she has.

Habboo shared that Tattam will continue to host the show, with their close friend Ruby Adler joining as a full-time co-host.

Addressing her listeners on her final episode, Habboo said: "This is actually going to be my last episode. I love you guys so much, and I've had the best time, and I'm so grateful for all your support, and honestly I feel like we have just got the best community."

She added: "I look back at all of the episodes and all the fun we've had and the dilemmas, and you've literally grown up with both Melissa and I, and I couldn't be more grateful, that you've come back every single week."

She continued: "You've spread the word, you've helped us grow this podcast, and we've just got the best community. You're the loveliest girls and boys, and I couldn't love you more and you've really helped me grow as a person and I'm going to miss this so much."

"But as you know, I've obviously become a Mum, and I've realised that I just need to prioritise my son and just spend as much time as I can with him. I just feel it's the right time for me to step away. But the podcast isn't going anywhere," she added.

Sophie also shared news of her podcast exit on Instagram as she stepped down after five years as a host on the podcast

Focus on motherhood and future plans

Habboo expressed a desire to return as a guest on the podcast "all the time" as she officially handed over co-hosting duties to Adler.

Paying tribute to her long-time co-host, Habboo said: "I'm so glad we met on MIC six years ago, and just, you're the bestest friend ever and thank you so much for doing this with me, and thank you for carrying the podcast, doing it with me. I've had the best time ever."

Habboo also confirmed her departure on Instagram after five years as a host on the series, writing that hosting Wednesdays as her first ever podcast had been "truly the best experience."

She wrote: "I got to host with my best friend and the best team ever and for that I am forever grateful!!! It's helped me grow as a person, in so many ways I can't explain."

She added: "Since having my son Ziggy eight months ago I've had to balance being the best mum I can be and all my opportunities that I feel so grateful to have. Sadly this means stepping away from Wednesdays, whilst I am sad to be leaving as a co-host I know I am leaving the podcast in the best hands ever with Melissa and Ruby (our true OG tiny aka Tiny Tim)."

She concluded: "I love Wednesdays and all of you listeners so much, thank you for your endless support and love! I cannot wait to watch the show continue to thrive and grow in the best hands! Thank you truly from the bottom of my heart for making this show so unbelievably special."
