On Friday, Eamonn announced he would be joining GB News next year.

Meanwhile, it comes days after Eamonn announced his “exciting” new TV job.

In a statement, the star 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.”

Eamonn added: “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.”
