Eamonn Holmes replaced on GB News with no explanation as familiar face drafted in after his fiery clash with guest

As a seasoned observer of celebrity lives and their intricate web of relationships, I find myself both amused and saddened by the recent developments involving Eamonn Holmes and his co-host Ellie Costello. The banter between them seems to have crossed a line, leaving many viewers feeling uncomfortable. However, I can’t help but reflect on my own experiences with inappropriate humor in the workplace.


On Monday, Eamonn Holmes was absent from the GB News schedule, as part of a team reshuffle for the show, and his spot was taken by a well-known colleague instead.

As a die-hard fan, I’ve grown accustomed to seeing my favorite host, a seasoned 64-year-old, gracing our screens alongside the charismatic Isabel Webster, age 41, from Monday through Wednesday. Yet, in an unexpected twist, he was conspicuously absent from the most recent episode, leaving me eagerly awaiting his return.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I found myself stepping into the spotlight, not as the usual face, but alongside my esteemed colleague Isabel, on an unexpected occasion when the former This Morning host was unavailable.

Eamonn was not provided with an explanation for his absence, so substitute host Nana, age 53, who initially appeared on the show in 2021, and Isabel began immediately with the day’s news, which covered a decline in support for Prime Minister Keir Starmer by US Vice President Kamala Harris.

Eamonn was replaced following an intense argument with a guest, where he exclaimed “Leave me alone! I need a break!” during a discussion about the Union Jack flag on Tuesday.

On the program, we had the esteemed guest speakers Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, a royal broadcaster and historian, and Imarn Ayton, an advocate for anti-racism, engaging in discussion about whether the Union Jack flag may be excessively divisive.

The debate began as Eamonn discussed the recent news that a village in Norfolk feels divided over whether to fly the Union Jack flag, with fears it will ‘scare people away’. 

The debate erupted after Imarn said the British people should reconsider flying the Union Jack flag because she claims it has ‘associations with the far-right’.

When Eamonn interrupted their intense and contentious debate, he concluded the discussion by expressing his personal viewpoint, having grown up in Northern Ireland, which prompted Imarn to vehemently respond.

Eamonn mentioned: ‘Displaying a flag outside a village hall in Norfolk makes one wonder, why all the fuss?’

Imarn furiously hit back: ‘Be considerate. No, be considerate guys. I know you’ve finished your segment but Eamonn I’m not going to let you finish with that one. 

‘Be considerate of other people’s beliefs and views. If you are considerate and sympathetic of everyone and how we perceive the world, you might find yourself leading with equality. Just so you know, I’ll finish it there.’

As a seasoned observer with a wealth of life experiences under my belt, let me share a little insight with you. I don’t need to preach or lecture; I prefer to find common ground by understanding multiple perspectives. In the midst of any debate, you’ll often find me perched squarely in the middle, straddling both sides like a balanced tightrope walker, seeking harmony and balance. Just as I do, I encourage you to try this approach – it’s been invaluable in my journey through life. And yes, I too have had my moments of leaning heavily on one side or the other, but finding that delicate equilibrium has enriched my understanding and deepened my empathy for all sides involved.

1. Eamonn exclaimed, “I was raised in a nation…” Then, Interrupting once more, Imarn said, “You ought to have shared your thoughts instead, but you ended up expressing Rafe’s viewpoints instead.”

host Eamonn clarified confidently: “Everyone is aware that I’m not from Northern Ireland. The flag there symbolizes political ideologies and stands against a specific religion in the region, which I am not.”

In a different way of phrasing, Imarn stated: “Just as some people experience racism because they are black, you haven’t faced this discrimination, sir. However, while I may not have encountered racial prejudice or bias due to being white, I have experienced it from the perspective of being black. Essentially, Eamonn, we share a common ground.”

‘Ahh give me a break. Let’s go to the break. Back after this’, Eamonn finished.

Meanwhile, Eamonn recently shocked his GB News co-host Ellie Costello by making an inappropriate comment about her boobs last week. 

As a devoted follower, I find myself reflecting on a recent conversation between the presenter, fresh off a separation from his wife Ruth Langsford, and his co-host Ellie, regarding the rising trend of individuals strolling around bare-chested amidst Britain’s current heatwave.

As a devoted admirer, I playfully shared with Ellie: “You haven’t caught a glimpse of my man boobs yet. One is slightly larger than the other, just so you know.”

Ellie erupted in laughter as Eamonn joked, “That’s right! Haven’t you got something larger than the other?” (or alternatively, “Aren’t there things among yours that are larger than the others?”)

Ellie appeared a bit surprised by the query and answered, “Yes, I do too. I believe it’s pretty common ground for us.”

In an attempt to steer the discussion back towards its original topic, Ellie added her thoughts by saying, “However, I find it inappropriate to have bare-chested men visible, particularly along the busy streets during a sweltering summer day.”

Lately, Eamonn’s personal life has made headlines due to the recent comments from Katie Alexander’s ex-husband regarding her new relationship with Eamonn.

George Alexander expressed empathy towards Ruth Langsford, having parted ways with his former partner prior to her relationship with the GB News host.

Back in May, Eamonn and Ruth, who are both 64, shared their intentions for a separation following a 14-year marriage. Subsequently, it came to light that he had been seeing a 42-year-old blonde relationship counselor.

As a devoted admirer, speaking about George, who was Katie’s spouse from 2010 to 2022, I express my deep empathy towards Ruth.

‘I have had my heart broken when my marriage to Katie ended’.

Adding: ‘It took me a couple of years to recover. I know how distraught Ruth must be feeling. She’s going through what I did after our marriage ended.’

George additionally emphasized that his ex-spouse was compassionate, which means she likely understands and cares for Ruth’s emotions.
