Eamonn Holmes has confirmed that he is leaving This Morning for GB News<\/a>, following widespread speculation about a possible move.<\/p>\n

The presenter, who will be ending his 15-year stint on the ITV morning show, said that he\u2019d long \u201cadmired\u201d GB News, which he will be joining in early 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve admired GB News from the beginning for its clever mix of punchy debate but delivered with warmth and even some fun,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent my career on broadcasting firsts and start-ups, and GB News is one of the most exciting yet. It\u2019s just the kind of shake-up the industry needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The move was previously reported last month, but Holmes has now confirmed the news. It\u2019s not yet known whether his wife and This Morning co-presenter Ruth Langsford will be joining him and other GB News contributors, including Nigel Farage and Dan Wootton.<\/p>

Last year, Holmes was widely criticised when he appeared to offer support for a conspiracy theory linking COVID-19 to 5G phone masts<\/a> during a segment on This Morning.<\/p>\n

Ofcom later ruled that Holmes\u2019 \u201cambiguous comments were ill-judged and risked undermining viewers\u2019 trust in advice from public authorities and scientific evidence\u201d.<\/p>\n

Responding to the backlash, he said on the following day\u2019s programme: \u201cEvery theory relating to such a connection has been proven to be false and we would like to emphasise that. However many people are rightly concerned and are looking for answers and that\u2019s simply what I was trying to impart yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for the avoidance of any doubt I want to make it completely clear there\u2019s no scientific evidence to substantiate any of those 5G theories. I hope that clears that up.\u201d<\/p>\n
