Isabel Webster has left GB News in a shock move
It came as a shock to fans who had watched their final show of 2024 without any mention of a schedule shake-up.
In a GB News update posted on X, the account wrote: “Isabel Webster has also departed GB News. She presented her final Breakfast show alongside Eamonn Holmes this morning.
“GBN Updates wishes her the best for the future.”
Replying to the message, Eamonn wrote: “Bye my girl x.”
Eamonn Holmes blindsided by ‘TV wife’s’ sudden departure in another brutal blow
The Sun revealed TV legend Eamonn was left blindsided by Isabel’s unexpected exit.
It’s believed the presenter’s negotiations to return in 2025 took a turn at the last-minute, leaving Eamonn blindsided.
It meant she left the station without saying a proper farewell to viewers.
Isabel had earlier posted a snap of the pair on the Breakfast Show, writing: “Final show from us for 2024.
“Thanks for your company this year. See you soon!
“Merry Christmas – I hope you all find some peace and joy.”

The pair began working together on Sky News in September 2016.
He left two years later to pursue other opportunities, including his Friday hosting duties with Ruth on ITV’s This Morning.
After being axed amid a feud with then-presenter Phillip Schofield, Eamon joined GB News in January 2022.
Isabel followed suit by quitting Sky News to be his co-anchor.
Eamonn will now present alongside Ellie Costello Monday to Wednesday on GB News Breakfast.
Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline
Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

1997 – The couple first meet after being introduced by mutual friends, two years after Eamonn splits from his first wife, Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.
1997-2002 – To be respectful to Gabrielle, the couple kept their relationship out of the limelight. Ruth told Daily Mail: “I thought it spoke volumes about the sort of man he was, the sort of father he was and the integrity he had. It made me love him more, not less.”

2016 – Eamonn undergoes a double hip replacement in the first of many health battles.
June 2019 – On This Morning, Ruth and Eamonn say the secret to their happy marriage. Eamonn credits “compromise, consideration and lots of conjugal,” while Ruth said it was “laughter and an equal marriage”.
November 2020 – Ruth and Eamonn are replaced on their regular Friday slot by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary in a ‘show shake-up’.
December 2021 – After a year of being moved to the bank holiday presenting slot, both Eamonn and Ruth left This Morning.
