Isabel Webster swears after Eamonn Holmes questions her age
Isabel Webster took to Twitter to apologise on Thursday after almost swearing at her GB News co-host Eamonn Holmes. The Breakfast with Eamonn & Isabel presenter hit out at the former This Morning host when he appeared to suggest she looked 15 years older than her age during a discussion on their show.
Isabel stopped short of telling Eamonn to "f**k off" after he cheekily questioned whether she was 39-years-old.
After their show, Eamonn took to Twitter to apologise and admitted he and his co-host “forget” they’re on air.
Isabel added: “By your calculations you had me aged 54 not 39. A girl can only take so much.
“Still… I shouldn’t half/almost/not really/well held swear. So I apologise too.
“Although, from what I can see on here, it was the highlight of the show for a lot of people.”
Commenting on the moment, Isabel told Express.co.uk: “One of the best things about working on GBN is having more freedom to say what you think.

“But I almost went too far this morning and am only grateful I stopped short. One of the dangers of working with someone who has been your friend for years is that you can sometimes forget the cameras are rolling.

Jan O’Connor said: “You two are a perfect match loving GB News having defected from Good Morning Britain after Piers left.
“Isabel you do look young take no notice not a line on your lovely face. Eamonn I think a visit to Specsavers is in order.”
Hazel Lowndes remarked: “It wasn’t that bad. She stopped before she finished the word. Ha, ha we’re all human. Keep up the good work.”
“I thought it was hilarious - we’re all human - these things happen and it’s all good fun. I love watching you two, it’s a great start to the day,” Christine Lupton added.
Isabel’s red-faced moment came when she and Eamonn were discussing a rare penny that will soon be available to collectors.

Eamonn cheekily suggested Isabel was before the current currency system was adopted.
He began: “Shortly, the perfect penny, we'll explain why you might be interested in buying a stake in this one.
“Do you even remember penny? Not a decimal penny. A pound, shilling, and pence penny.”
“Of course I don’t,” Isabel hit back and the former This Morning host said: “What do you mean of course you don’t?”
“When were you born?” Eamonn asked and she replied: “I'm not that old. [I was born in] '82.”
“Oh, there were no pennies then,” he agreed. “You're quite right. They were all gone in the 1970s, '71.”
“Do I look really old or something?” Isabel asked and Eamonn quipped: “Funny, you look much older.”
“Oh, f**k,” Isabel said before immediately apologising. “Sorry, sorry, sorry. I stopped myself.
“This is what happens when you work with Eamonn.”
Breakfast with Eamonn & Isabel airs on GB News on weekdays at 6am.
