Isabel Webster’s Heartwarming Birthday Message to Ruth Langsford Amid Eamonn Holmes Drama

BBG News

Eamonn Holmes’ former GB News co-host Isabel Webster showed her support for his ex Ruth Langsford with a sweet birthday message on Monday.

The article was published recently, only a few months after Eamonn, at the age of 65, faced accusations that he played a role in Isabel’s dismissal from the channel, due to allegations that their professional relationship had soured.

Ruth, who announced her split from the Irish broadcaster in May 2024 after 14 years of marriage, reshared the message to her Instagram Stories as she celebrated her 65th birthday.

At the snapshot, Isabel (aged 42) and the Loose Women celebrity were spotted snuggling, both elegantly dressed in fashionable evening gowns and trendy headwear.

She wrote: ‘Happy Birthday @Ruthlangsford’ to which the birthday girl replied: ‘Thank you darling’.

In January Eamonn furiously hit back after he was accused of being behind Isabel’s axe which saw her replaced by Ellie Costello, 31, dubbed the organisation’s ‘own Holly Willoughby’.

I was taken aback by the recent shake-up at the channel, as my beloved show, hosted by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, underwent some changes. It seems that his hours have been reduced, and Mark Dolan has taken over on weekends. As a devoted fan, this news left me quite shaken up!

When Eamonn came back from his holiday after Christmas and New Year’s Day, he shared a photo with his new co-host Ellie and praised her as being “vibrant, lively, and unique.

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 disgruntled user subsequently commented beneath the post, saying, ‘Apparently your friend was let go because he wasn’t conservative enough, yet you remained silent. With companions like you…’

But Eamonn then furiously shot back: ‘And u know nothing!’

In December, it was announced that Isabel stepped down from being Eamonn’s co-host due to a strained relationship with the channel’s management team, as sources confirmed.

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

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.’ 

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on recent events, I found myself taken aback when I learned about the unexpected parting of ways between Webster and GB News towards the end of last year. This decision left my esteemed colleague Holmes in a state of surprise, as she had been an integral part of their team.

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 has a 22-year-old son Jack with Eamonn, stated: ‘Although I’m not thrilled about my marriage ending, I’ve come to terms with it being over. Now, I’m focusing on enjoying my single status and making decisions that cater solely to 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.’
