Ex GB News star confirms huge career move as TV host replaced
The star was supported as she shared an announcement.
Former GB News star Isabel Webster has confirmed that she has a new presenting job lined up. Posting to her Instagram account, she delighted fans with a post about what was next for her career.
The former GB News presenter, 43, who previously co-hosted the channel's breakfast programme with Eamonn Holmes, 65, from 2022 until her unexpected departure last December, has confirmed her next move. She was succeeded by Ellie Costello, 32, on the show. In her social media post, she shared a promo picture announcing that she will be presenting on Channel 5's Matt Allwright show. It read: "Delighted to be hosting the brand new (and brilliant) 'Matt Allwright' show on Channel 5 for the next few Fridays." The poster added that it would air between 12:50 and 2pm each week. Following her GB News departure, Isabel launched her own podcast, New Chapters, whilst continuing her column work. Back in December, she hinted at her return to mainstream television - though remained tight-lipped about which channel would feature her from January.
