However, The Sun can reveal talks with Isabel about a new contract broke down at the last minute – leaving Eamonn stunned.

It’s another brutal blow for the beloved Breakfast Show host days before his first Christmas without his ex Ruth Langsford.

A TV source said Eamonn is “reeling” from the news he’s already presented his last show with Isabel.

The insider added: “Eamonn has loved working with Isabel over the years and they’re incredibly popular with viewers as a duo.

“They were both fully expecting to reunite in 2025 after doing their final show of the year yesterday.

“It was a real shock to everyone involved. Eamonn’s gutted about it and the fact that he’s been blindsided has made it even worse.

“Isabel’s been a massive source of comfort to him during a terribly difficult year following his separation from Ruth. He’s still reeling from the news.”

As word spread about Isabel leaving, Eamonn shared a picture of them together on his Instagram story.

Isabel had earlier posted a snap of the pair on the Breakfast Show, writing: “Final show from us for 2024.

“Thanks for your company this year. See you soon!

“Merry Christmas – I hope you all find some peace and joy.”

Eamonn began working with Isabel on Sky News in September 2016.

He left two years later to pursue other opportunities, including his Friday hosting duties with Ruth on ITV’s This Morning.

After being axed amid a feud with then-presenter Phillip Schofield, Eamon joined GB News in January 2022.

Ruth and Eamonn’s relationship timeline

Before the shock split announcement, Ruth and Eamonn seemed like one of the strongest couples on UK TV – even with their signature bickering style.

September 2024 – Eamonn was spotted on a luxury holiday in Barcelona with his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Ruth calls in a ‘fierce’ divorce lawyer.

Isabel followed suit by quitting Sky News to be his co-anchor.

Eamonn will now present alongside Ellie Costello Monday to Wednesday on GB News Breakfast.

The Sun has reached out to Eamonn and Isabel’s reps.
