Eamonn Holmes on GB News: Belfast man thanks viewers after 'record' first week

Eamonn Holmes has thanked viewers for 'record' figures on GB News over his first week.

The Belfast broadcaster began his new breakfast show with co-host Isabel Webster on Monday, January 3.

On Friday, Eamonn tweeted: "As we reach the end of week 1, we are indebted to you for record @GBNews figures.

"So have your breakfast with us on TV or Radio... DAB+ Radio, TV Freeview 236, Sky 515, Virgin 626, You View 236 or Free Sat 216. More changes next week as we are both on air from 6 to 9.30 am."

After his first show, the TV presenter reflected on how 'history' was being made.

He said: "Folks, thank you for getting behind me for the new breakfast show. A lot of people are working hard to give you a show where your views are a big part of the news.

"I hope you stay with us from 6.30 - 9.30 as we begin simulcasting on both TV and DAB Radio. Making History."

Eamonn and Isabel have been inundated with well wishes from fans over the week - some saying how the duo are 'brilliantly paired' together.

One social media user added: "The show is getting better minute by minute."

Another said: "Two mornings on the trot I've switched on @EamonnHolmes & @IsabelWebster_. Thank god for a decent morning show back on the air!"

A third added: "I'm loving the morning shows with you two, a great first week, well done guys."

Others have criticised the 62-year-old for joining the channel.

Eamonn responded: "The breakfast show is straight down the middle."
