Huge shake up for Eamonn Holmes’ breakfast show as ITV daytime legend joins him as co-host
EAMONN Holmes was reunited with one of his former ITV co-stars today – as they prepared to host together.
The TV favourite posed alongside ex-Loose Women pannellist Saira Khan in the studios of his breakfast show.
The former Apprentice candidate will be filling in for Isabel Webster on GB News for two days next week.
TV star Saira had a five-year stint on Loose Women between 2015 and 2020 – when Eamonn was fronting This Morning.
However, she dramatically quit the daytime hit with immediate effect.
Saira, 52, revealed her new gig in a post accompanied by a picture of her and Eamonn, 63, side by side in the studio.
The presenter wrote: “Be careful what you wish for!!
“I’ve always wanted to be a news anchor and now I’ve got the opportunity to work with award winning broadcaster and king of news @eamonnholmes on @gbnewsonline.
“I’m covering @isabelwebstertv for just two days, Monday, Tuesday, next week.
“I’m absolutely nervous and feeling abit sick just thinking about it 
– but doing things out of my comfort zone is good for me.”
She added that Eamonn and Isabel “make it look so easy”, adding: “Seamless from one news item to the next, flawless transitions between autocue to ad-lib and from light to shade!
“I’ll either sink or swim – but at least I can say I had a go!
“I shadowed the team last week and was super impressed with the output. Lovely morning crew, welcoming, inclusive and supportive.
“See you on the box again, in the passenger seat with a friendly, supportive friend.”
Eamonn replied: “Thank you for saying Yes my dear friend xxx.”
Saira wrote back: “Always a YES for my mentor.”
