Eamonn Holmes set to quit ITV’s This Morning to join GB News

Eamonn Holmes is set to leave This Morning to take up a new role on rival broadcaster GB News.

The presenter is poised to join the news channel next year, bringing his 15 year stint as host of the ITV show.

The decision comes after he and his wife Ruth Langsford were dropped from their Friday slot in the past few months, with Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond serving as their replacement.

The couple had been presenting the Friday episode of This Morning since 2006, but are not only called in during the school holidays when the main hosts have time off.

He is now expected to front his own show on GB News several times a week.

One source told the Mirror: “Eamonn’s move to GB News marks the end of an era.
