Vanessa then became tearful.
Getting emotional, Vanessa continued: “It really has been the job of my life and I have taken it with immense seriousness.
“I will miss everybody. Thank you so much for having me.”
A song then played as Vanessa is seen breaking down in tears.
On Instagram, Vanessa wrote: “Final farewell.”
Her This Morning co-star Holly Willoughby commented on the post: “Top class broadcaster… onto your next adventure…”
Vanessa announced she was leaving BBC Radio last month.
In a statement, she said: “I have loved every moment with my Radio 2 ‘Early Birds’ and will miss my Lovely Listeners, Jolly Good Fellows and beloved friends and colleagues at Radio 2 with all my heart.
“However, after almost 12 blissful years, I now need to step down to catch up on a much needed decade’s deficit of beauty sleep!
“It’s been an honour and privilege to be the Breakfast voice of BBC Radio London for 20 years and although I’m leaving the show, I’ll continue to expect hugs from my lovely listeners when I see them on the streets of London!”

She added: “I will enjoy a dollop of energy-boosting shut-eye to swing from zip-lines with my three effervescent grandchildren and frolic with my fiancé Ben, who irritatingly remains 10 years younger than me!”
