Eamonn Holmes has clapped back after an Instagram account claimed he ‘sat back and did nothing’ when Isabel Webster was axed from GB News.

The former This Morning presenter, 65, posted about his return to the broadcaster after the Christmas break today on social media.

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.

Commenting on the shake-up, Head Of Programming and Talent on GB News Ben Briscoe said: ‘2024 has been a truly fantastic year for us. Not only are we regularly beating the other established news channels, but we are also making inroads against the big public service broadcaster terrestrial channels.

‘Our initiatives will allow us to build on this success with a renewed focus and ambition.’
