Eamonn Holmes breaks silence after Isabel Webster suddenly axed from GB News
Eamonn Holmes has spoken out for the first time since it was revealed Isabel Webster has been axed from GB News.
The Northern Irish broadcaster, 65, has worked closely with Isabel, 41, on their Breakfast Show for the last three years.
However, in a sudden shake-up, GB News has appeared to switch up their partnership without any warning.
Starting in 2025, Ellie Costello will step in to co-anchor GBN Breakfast five days a week, sharing the screen with Eamonn from Monday to Wednesday.

Sharing a snap of him alongside his beloved mum Josephine, who died in November 2022, the former This Morning presenter admitted he was devastated at spending another Christmas without her.

Stephen and Anne Diamond will continue to co-present GB News Breakfast at Weekends."
On Wednesday (December 18), Isabel took to Instagram to announce that she had presented her "final" show with Eamonn, however, suggested she would be returning in 2025.
