Eamonn Holmes admitted he "didn’t sleep a wink" before his GB News debut, as he signed off from his first breakfast show on the channel.
The TV presenter and journalist, 62, joined co-host, Isabel Webster, for the first episode of the channel’s new Breakfast With Eamonn And Isabel programme on Monday.
Addressing his return to early starts, he told viewers: "We are coming to the end of our first day – and hopefully not our last day of the GB News breakfast show. A new look."
Closing the programme, he quipped: "I need to make a long-term plan about how to get up in the morning. I didn’t sleep a wink last night.
"My kids brought me a fancy alarm clock that went off and then I couldn’t turn it off."
It was announced in November that Holmes was leaving ITV after 15 years hosting This Morning alongside his wife Ruth Langsford.
Before This Morning, Holmes presented GMTV and has also worked across radio in the UK.
His wife and on-screen presenting partner will continue to work with ITV as an anchor on Loose Women and a member of the This Morning team.
