Eamonn Holmes furious as he's accused of getting Isabel Webster sacked from GB News

TV presenter Eamonn Holmes has fired back after being blamed for the dismissal of his co-host Isabel Webster. It was revealed last month that Isabel's departure from GB News was due to strained relationships on the show over her working hours. The 42-year-old, who previously fronted Sunrise on Sky News, co-hosted GB News Breakfast alongside Eamonn until her seemingly acrimonious exit before Christmas.
Eamonn, 65, has now returned to work following the show's reshuffle, posting a picture with his new glamorous breakfast show co-presenter. He praised Ellie Costello, 31, as being "fresh, bright and different". Sharing a photo from behind the studio desk, he penned: "A New Year , a new day and a new Breakfast line up on @GBNews .".
"It’s now Eamonn and @EllieCostellotv from 6 to 9.30 . It’s Fresh , bright , different and I hope we have your company on TV , online , on your smartphone , on your Radio and by asking your smart device to play GB News. Please join us and say Hello." However, some fans criticised the TV veteran in the comments section underneath his post.
One irate Instagram user told Eamonn: "Your mate got sacked for not being right wing enough and you sat back and did nothing. With friends like you…" To which Eamonn retorted: "And u know nothing ! " The sudden split of TV pair Eamonn and Isabel surprised fans after issues had been quietly brewing behind the scenes.
Eamonn discussed his former co-host's sudden departure from the show on air today. The veteran broadcaster shared his feelings on this morning's episode, saying: "It is our first day without Isabel, and we miss her already." He also acknowledged messages from viewers, stating, "Not that we don't welcome you here, Miss Ellie, but thank you very much for all of your comments about Isabel.".
