Eamonn hosts the show alongside his former Sky News colleague, Isabel Webster, who recently opened up about the pair's close friendship. 

She told The Mirror: "I know I could call him in the middle of the night if I had a crisis.

"We often have a huddle in the make-up room with the make-up artists before we go on air and have a bit of a bitch about what's going on in our lives – a bit of a gossip.

"He constantly helps and looks after me in a protective way," she added.

The broadcaster also revealed that Eamonn is popular with her two children, William, six, and four-year-old Poppy. "The kids call him 'Uncle Eamonn,'" she said. "They kiss the TV when he comes on… they don't take any notice of me!

"When he comes to pick me up to take me to events and we’re all dressed up, he fills the pockets of his dinner jacket with sweets and hides them all around the garden.

"Then, when he arrives, the kids come running to the front door. It’s like Father Christmas has just turned up. It’s a nightmare for whoever is looking after the kids because he revs them up then off we go!"

Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel airs on weekdays from 6am on GB News.
