Meanwhile, Eamonn’s former This Morning colleague Dr Scott Miller shared his excitement.
The Australian vet said: “Go Eamonn!! All the best for this exciting new chapter!”
Eamonn makes his GB News
The broadcaster joined co-host Isabel for the first episode of the channel’s new Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel programme on Monday.
At the beginning of the show, Eamonn said: “I’m having some lovely messages from people all around the country who are looking forward to whatever we’re going to do differently.
“Hopefully we are going to do lots of things differently.
“We’re going to do news, but we’re going to do news with views. We’re going to do your news, because if it is important to you, it is important to us.”
It comes after Eamonn admitted his chronic back pain has caused a strain on his relationship with Ruth.
He told The Sun: “For months now I haven’t been able to walk, sometimes at all, and it has really taken its toll on everyone around me too.
“I can’t bend down to pick things up so Ruth ends up having to wait on me.
“It has caused some strain and Ruth is fed up of hearing about it and of me saying I can’t walk the dog or tidy up, but I can’t help it. It’s agony.”

Eamonn confirmed his departure from This Morning in December.
“I’ve spent my career on broadcasting firsts and start-ups, and GB News is one of the most exciting yet,” he shared at the time.
“It’s just the kind of shake-up the industry needs.”
