Eamonn Holmes is to host his own show on TV channel GB News.

The former Sky News and GMTV presenter, 62, will host a new programme in the New Year , The Network has announced.

Holmes 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 will leave ITV's This Morning , where he and wife Ruth Langsford currently act as holiday cover.

In his statement, Holmes 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. "

Holmes and Langsford normally present ITV's This Morning during school holidays, when main presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are away.

They previously also presented The Show on Fridays. However the couple were replaced in their weekly slot by Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond . Some media outlets reported the pair with unhappy with the perceived demotion.

In 2017, Holmes was in a Radio Times poll.

However, he caused controversy Last Year on This Morning when he cast doubt on media outlets that had debunked The Myth that 5G causes coronavirus.

Ofcom said they " risked undermining viewers' trust in advice from public authorities and scientific evidence".
