Isabel, 42, previously worked with Eamonn Holmes, 65, at Sky News before they later reunited on-screen at the start-up.

However, they were forced to separate once again after she was replaced on the show by star presenter, Ellie Costello, 30.

In an apparent swipe at her former colleague, Isabel posted a gushing tribute to his ex-wife, Ruth Langsford, 65 on Instagram.

She posted a snap of herself all glammed up as she posed next to the Loose Women star for her birthday on her story.

Ruth dressed in an angelic white outfit, whilst the former Sky News star looked pretty in a puffy pink dress with a matching fascinator.

Both of the duo donned huge sunglasses as they prepared to enjoy their day out together.

The former TV presenter captioned the snap: "Happy birthday @ruthlangsford," alongside two champagne glass emojis.

Eamonn and Ruth previously announced they had decided to split after 14 years of marriage in May 2024.

He has since moved on with a new partner, Katie Alexander, 43, as the pair have been seen on several public outings together.

This comes after The Sun revealed Isabel's exit from GB News was caused by close relationships turning sour.

She had been locked in a secret feud with channel bosses over increasing her days on-screen from three to five a week.

A GB News spokesman said the rumours were “completely untrue,” however Eamonn replied to a tweet about Isabel's sudden departure, saying "Bye my girl x".

Insiders say it was a "savage" response to Isabel's sacking days before Christmas - as Eamonn failed to properly pay tribute to her on his social media channels.

A source told us at the time: "As Isabel has grown more headstrong in her role as Eamonn's co-host, there have been a few tiffs and clashes over their differing opinions, but all in all they worked well together and are good friends.

"Although, silence speaks volumes and it was quite obvious to some people there wasn't a gushing post from Eamonn or Isabel about the end of their TV partnership."

"Eamonn wasn't consulted about the decision, in fact he was totally blindsided - and his new co-host was chosen for him before he even knew Isabel was leaving.

"He and Isabel had their moments as a TV partnership. Eamonn's a legend in the industry and a king of breakfast telly. It's always the bigger name who works fewer days on-screen."
