Julia Hartley-Brewer is set to leave TalkTV, according to sources who spoke to The Daily Expresso podcast, following the recent departures of Piers Morgan, Mike Graham and Mark Dolan.
Exodus of stars
On the latest episode of The Daily Expresso, host JJ Anisiobi and Express Associate Editor James Walker discussed the latest developments at TalkTV and rumoured plans to close the station.
Mr Walker said: "We are witnessing the beginning of the end for TalkTV. It doesn’t bring us any joy to say this but Julia Hartley-Brewer is going out the door - you heard it here first. Piers Morgan has left, way gone. Mike Graham has gone. Friend of the show Mark Dolan has gone. They’ve got no one left! There’s been an exodus of stars."
Recent departures
In 2024, Piers Morgan took his daily Uncensored show off TalkTV to focus on its YouTube channel. Mike Graham was sacked from Talk in November 2025, and Mark Dolan left TalkTV with "immediate effect" on September 25 of this year.
Julia Hartley-Brewer hosts the mid-morning show between 10am and 1pm Monday to Thursday. She makes regular appearances on TV shows such as BBC One’s Question Time and Have I Got News For You, as well as ITV’s This Morning.
The presenter used to present a daily show on LBC Radio for four years. Before that she was a newspaper journalist, starting out on the East London Advertiser, before joining the London Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Sunday Express, where she was the political editor and columnist for 10 years.
New episodes of The Daily Expresso are available every weekday at 5pm on The Daily Express YouTube Channel.
