He promised a ‘fresh, bright and different’ show with his new co-presenter Ellie Costello, 31. However, Eamonn’s comments appeared to anger one of his 789K followers, who claimed: ‘Your mate got sacked for not being right wing enough and you sat back and did nothing. With friends like you…’.

In response the broadcaster furiously hit back: ‘And u know nothing!. Isabel, 41, who joined GB News in 2021 after moving from Sky News has not publicly addressed her exit. However, Eamonn reacted once news of her departure was made public on GB News’ X account.
