Eamonn Holmes previously liked tweets slating This Morning bosses – months before landing his reported new job at GB News.
The popular presenter, 61, is apparently heading to GB News after 15 years on the ITV programme.
But after being dropped from his usual Friday slot with wife Ruth Langsford in December 2020, Eamonn shared his frustration on Twitter.
Eamonn Holmes likes tweets before GB News announcement
According to The Mirror, the star liked a number of tweets about himself and Ruth.
One read: “When you listen to @EamonnHolmes & @RuthieeL and the everyday normal things they get up to, it makes you wonder why management at @thismorning have relegated them to holidays only?
“They deserve a regular spot, bring them back for a weekly slot please, it makes sense!”
This business can be so cruel
Eamonn also responded to a user who called the business “cruel”.
Journalist Kinsey Schofield tweeted: “I really enjoy you and your wife. This business can be so cruel. I will continue to support you and whatever you decide to do next. Congratulations on so many brilliant years executing the job wonderfully.”
Eamonn then responded: “Very kind of you to say Lady K. Appreciate it.”

News of Eamonn liking the tweets was reported by various outlets at the time.
It came after Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary replaced the married duo on the show.
Announcing the change, Eamonn and Ruth shared: “It’s a changing of the guard on Fridays from January.

“We hope you make Alison and Dermot as welcome as you’ve made us over the years.
“Have a Ball you two! It’s not goodbye from us, it’s simply Au Revoir until the next half term.”
Now, it’s reported that Eamonn is officially leaving This Morning for good.
Eamonn to leave This Morning?
According to the Mirror, the star is set to appear on GB News in the near future.
A source told the publication: “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.”
