Eamonn Holmes 'didn't sleep a wink' before his GB News debut

The former 'This Morning' presenter and his new co-host Isabel Webster fronted their first 'Breakfast with Eamonn & Isabel' show on Monday (03.01.22), but the 62-year-old broadcaster struggled with his new alarm clock.

He said: "I need to make a long-term plan about how to get up in the morning. I didn’t sleep a wink last night.

"My kids brought me a fancy alarm clock. It went off and I couldn’t turn it off."

Eamonn admitted his and Isabel's breakfast show will aim to "do lots of things differently".

Speaking on the show, he added: "I'm having some lovely messages from people all around the country who are looking forward to whatever we're going to do differently.

"Hopefully we are going to do lots of things differently.

"We're going to do news, but we're going to do news with views. We're going to do your news, because if it is important to you, it is important to us."

Last month, Eamonn announced he was joining GB News, and he was looking forward to taking up a role on the "exciting" news channel.

He said: "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.”

Former Sky News anchor Eamonn also posted a message to his one million Twitter followers announcing his new role, and urging them to tune in.

He tweeted: "Here is The News ..... I'm joining @GBNEWS from The New Year . Hope you are coming with me and wish me well . In the meantime Compliments of The Season to you and thanks for your support folks. (sic)"
