The shock shake-up was one of a number of changes made by the channel, as Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg saw his hours cut and Mark Dolan replaced on his weekend show.

As Eamonn returned to work after the Christmas and New Year break he posted a snap with new co-host Ellie and  lauded her for being ‘fresh, bright and different’.

He wrote: ‘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.’

One angry troll then wrote under the post in the comments section: ‘Your mate got sacked for not being right wing enough and you sat back and did nothing. With friends like you…’

But Eamonn then furiously sH๏τ back: ‘And u know nothing!’

Back in December Isabel was replaced as Eamonn’s co-host after her relationship with the channel’s bosses turned sour, insiders revealed.

According to The Sun, Webster’s shock exit was caused by a secret feud with her employees over her working hours.

Ruth, who announced her split from Eamonn in 2024 after 14 years of marriage , reshared the message to her Instagram Stories as she celebrated her 65th birthday (pictured 2022)

Alongside a sun-soaked snap Ruth wrote: ‘So this is 65…. thank you for all your lovely birthday messages’.

Other famous friends were also quick to send their best wishes 

The presenter ‘wasn’t happy’ that the channel’s senior chiefs were expecting her to increase her days on-screen from three to five a week and ‘refused to bow to demands’.

‘It had become a sticking point in negotiations and was causing tension behind the scenes,’ an insider told The Sun.

‘Eamonn’s obviously the main star of the show and likes to be in charge – he’s now looking forward to working with Ellie who’s a young talent he can help mould as her career progresses.’

Responding to these claims, A GB News spokesman said: ‘This is completely untrue.’ 

Talks between Webster and GB News broke down at the end of last year and she was subsequently axed from the company, a decision which ‘blindsided’ her colleague Holmes. 

The pair had just finished their final show of the year and they were allegedly planning to celebrate Christmas together, but she was immediately replaced by Costello.

It comes after Ruth  opened up on her divorce in a new interview for the first time  and discussed the ‘difficult’ break up and how she has picked herself up and moved on.

Shortly after their separation, Eamonn went public with his new relationship with dating counsellor Katie Alexander, 43, while Ruth remains publicly single.

Speaking to woman&home Ruth said she was determined to look ahead and feels an enthusiasm for what’s next, including meeting someone new.

When asked how she is feeling now, Ruth said: ‘I’m alright. Relationship breakdowns are very difficult – marriage, friendship, whatever it is – but you just deal with it and you have to move on. You can either let yourself crumble or you pick yourself up and get on with life. It’s a choice.’

Ruth, who shares son Jack, 22, with Eamonn, added: ‘I’m not delighted my marriage is over but I’ve accepted that my marriage is over, so I am trying to now embrace the fact that I’m single and can make choices that are just about me.’

She said: ‘For a lot of people, whatever troubles you have, work is something that you have to get up and do. For me, it’s always been a good thing to dust myself down and concentrate on something else.’
