Eamonn Holmes has officially quit This Morning after more than a decade at the helm.
The TV presenter has hosted the ITV daytime show alongside wife Ruth Langsford for 15 years.
The couple presented the show every Friday up until January this year and took over the main hosts in the holidays.
Following rumours last month, it has now been confirmed that Eamonn, 62, will join GB News.

He will host a new programme in the New Year, GB News has announced.
Eamonn 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."
He added: "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."
The news was announced in a statement on social media on Friday morning.
Eamonn's career has spanned 40 years, including 12 years co-presenting GMTV and 11 years hosting Sunrise on Sky News.
Eamonn and Ruth then joined This Morning in 2006.
The Northern Irish star is yet to comment publically on the announcement.
It was reported in November that Ruth is 'unlikely' to remain on This Morning without her husband.
As well as This Morning, Ruth has been a regular panellist on Loose Women and has a regular slot on QVC.
