The pair have both been off air a lot over the summer holidays in order to spend time with their young families during the school break, but over the weekend Hoda reminded her followers of when they were recently on air together.

Sharing a sweet tribute message to Savannah alongside a photo of them hugging, Hoda wrote: "Just because... and thank you!! It was absolutely perfect! xx"

Hoda's followers were quick to comment on the post, and while many were praising the strong friendship between her and Savannah, others were concerned that the star was sharing a cryptic message to suggest she was leaving the show.

Hoda and Savannah have been working together on Today since 2017 after Matt Lauer was fired. Earlier in the year, Savannah discussed her working partnership with Hoda during a celebration for the show at The Paley Center.

Chatting about the moment Hoda replaced Matt, she said: "All I know was in that moment, it felt like I could drown if Hoda hadn't reached down and grabbed my hand."

She added: "I will always say she saved the show full stop. And holding hands with her and being like, 'We're going to do this together,' meant everything to me. I don't think I had the confidence by myself."

On their female partnership, she continued: "It's wonderful to have a female partnership, but to me, to have this friend and cheerleader and partner, and I really feel that from her, and I hope we share that. "It's incredible. I always say, 'I'll hold my hands and close my eyes and go anywhere with you.' I would."
