The presenter has landed a new job hosting his own show on GB News.
He released a statement saying, “I’ve spent my career on broadcasting firsts and start-ups, and GB News is one of the most exciting yet. It’s just the kind of shake-up the industry needs.
“I’ve admired GB News from the beginning for its clever mix of punchy debate but delivered with warmth and even some fun.
“To me the greatest honour in journalism is to give a voice and respect to the unheard, and that’s exactly what GB News is all about.”
Eamonn has been on This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford for 15 years, although he assured viewers that Ruth will be remaining on the beloved morning show.
“Ruth remains an important part of ITV Daytime both as a continuing member of the This Morning family and as an anchor presenter on Loose Women,” he said.
Posting a picture to Instagram, his excitement can be felt through the caption, “So many of you have been asking me. Well it’s been a while but I’m back on News from The New Year ….. all I need is for you to join me. More details over the weekend. Thanks for your support. #GBNews.”
When the news first broke about Eamonn’s departure a source told The Mirror, “Eamonn’s move to GB News marks the end of an era.
“He’ll be missed by many ITV viewers but, the truth is, this job offer probably came at just the right moment for both him and ITV. All good things come to an end.”
