GB News star Isabel Webster has finally broken her silence about the surprising departure from Eamonn Holmes' breakfast show that left viewers baffled. The popular broadcaster revealed the behind-the-scenes changes that led to her sudden exit in a candid disclosure.
Webster confirmed she was effectively ousted from her role alongside veteran presenter Holmes when network executives decided to overhaul the morning programme's format. The changes came as part of a broader restructuring at the channel that saw several high-profile shifts in presenting line-ups.

The restructuring saw Eamonn Holmes moved to a new afternoon slot with co-host Isabel Webster surprisingly not making the transition with him. Instead, Webster found herself repositioned within the network's schedule, a move that insiders suggest was not entirely voluntary.
"I was moved from the breakfast show," Webster stated matter-of-factly, acknowledging the network's decision to take the programme in a "different direction." Her revelation confirms speculation that the changes were more management-driven than personal choice.
New Role and Schedule Shake-up
Webster will now front her own midday programme from 10 am to 12:30 pm, a significant shift from the early morning slot she shared with Holmes. The new arrangement positions her as solo anchor, a challenge she appears to be embracing despite the unexpected nature of the change.
The shake-up comes as GB News continues to refine its programming strategy, with Holmes now paired with veteran broadcaster Bev Turner for the afternoon slot from 1 pm to 4 pm. The moves represent the latest chapter in the channel's evolving on-air talent strategy.
Industry Reaction and Future Prospects
Media analysts suggest the changes reflect GB News's ongoing efforts to stabilise its presenting line-up and build audience loyalty. Webster's candid comments about her reassignment provide rare insight into the channel's internal decision-making processes.
Despite the unexpected change, Webster remains a key part of GB News's daytime programming, suggesting the network still values her contribution even as it reshuffles its presenting deck.
