GB News Presenters Female: Who Stayed, Who Left and Who’s Back from Washington

After her GB News departure in December 2024, Isabel Webster still features in a huge range of online current line-up lists. Search for GB News presenters female, and you’ll find a lot of pages have been recycled from a few years ago and that the timetable keeps altering: a Washington secondment has just ended, a brand new US politics editor has been appointed, and a maternity leave has actually rearranged the midafternoon slot. This information sticks to what the system and trusted reports said, and in which a detail could not be verified.

Birth details are listed only where public biographical records give them.

The breakfast desk: Ellie Costello

If any woman can take charge of the channel’s weekday mornings, it’s Ellie Costello. She began her career at the BBC World Service, then studied on the Victoria Derbyshire programme, and joined GB News in May 2021 as South-East reporter – even before the channel launched. She was raised in Essex by two teachers, has an English literature degree from Southampton and a master’s in broadcast journalism from City University.

Her profile has been rising. She was the first to report outside Windsor Castle on the Queen’s death, and the first reporter at the scene following the murder of Sir David Amess. Online TV listings for the channel reveal she was on Breakfast with Eamonn and Ellie at the beginning of this week, and on Breakfast with Stephen and Ellie with Stephen Dixon last Thursday and Friday. Her professional biography states she has been a breakfast presenter since 2025.

Sunday politics: Camilla Tominey

Camilla Tominey is the channel’s most senior print-to-screen crossover. She has presented The Camilla Tominey Show, a Sunday morning politics programme, since January 2023. It has been on air from 9.30-11 am. She is also associate editor at The Daily Telegraph, where she hosts a podcast, and she cut her teeth on royal and Westminster reporting, having studied law at Leeds before beginning her journalism career on a local paper.

Weeknights and weekends: Michelle Dewberry and Nana Akua

Michelle Dewberry has been around from the very beginning. She was crowned The Apprentice winner by Lord Sugar in 2006 and was announced as a GB News host ahead of launch. Dewbs & Co, her one-hour nightly show, has been on at 6 pm on weeknights. The Hull native has also run for Parliament twice – as an independent candidate in 2017 and for the Brexit Party in 2019.

She arrived on the channel from a lengthy radio stint at Kiss 100. The schedule has her finishing up at 3 pm on weekends for GB News, and her profile indicates she’s been there for five years. The channel announced she’d be with Tom Harwood hosting Good Afternoon Britain M-F for the time being in September 2025, filling in for Emily Carver while she was on maternity leave, but Harwood was given the US political editor job, so the new pairing is likely short-lived. I couldn’t confirm what was next up.

Bev Turner’s year in Washington

This is by far the biggest recent story for the women on the channel. Bev Turner has been based in DC for the last 12 months. She reported from the US capital, anchoring The Late Show Live from Monday to Thursday and scoring 2 world-exclusive interviews with President Trump. Her secondment is now finished, and Tom Harwood will move to Washington and relocate ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Turner was on GB News since November 2022 and had been a talk show host on LBC between 2015 and 2019. She is also a controversial figure. She has been criticised in the past for her on-air clashes and public comments, in particular her support for Russell Brand in 2023 in the face of a surge of criticism. As of today, I couldn’t find an official statement about her next London show.

Names that appear in older lists

Several women are regularly listed as current presenters when the picture is more complicated:

• Isabel Webster: She shared a breakfast show with Eamonn Holmes until December 2024, when she left as part of scheduling adjustments.
• Emily Carver: Good Afternoon Britain and The Saturday Five presenter. She was on maternity leave in 2025. I haven’t seen an official statement about her returning to work.
• Dawn Neesom: From September 2025, she was hired to co-present Good Afternoon Britain on Thursdays and Fridays.
• Anne Diamond: In 2022, she co-presented weekend breakfast with Stephen Dixon. She came back after being off air for several months for breast cancer treatment. Couldn’t confirm her current slot.
• Gloria De Piero: The ex-Labour MP was revealed in 2024 to be co-presenting a weekly PMQs programme with Christopher Hope. She is yet to confirm.

Why the line-up keeps changing

GB News is a channel built on names, so shuffles will be noticed. But the channel has been under financial stress, and there have been reports that it trimmed losses, despite a large plunge in its web audience. That doesn’t tell you who will appear on screen in a month. Look at the schedule before assuming a name is still there.

What to Remember Before You Search Again

Most questions about GB News presenters female come down to three things. First, the confirmed names right now are Ellie Costello on breakfast, Camilla Tominey on Sunday mornings, Michelle Dewberry on weeknights, Nana Akua at weekends and Bev Turner, who is returning to London after her year in Washington. Second, some names still circulating in older lists, Isabel Webster most obviously, are no longer with the channel.

Some, like Emily Carver, Anne Diamond and Gloria De Piero, have been allocated slots which subsequently altered or could not be verified. Fourth, the schedules are in flux in the run-up to and after the Washington reshuffle, so the best source for presenters’ slots is the channel’s own programme listings.

Final word

As for GB News female presenters, the current stable of names you can rely upon are Ellie Costello taking the early morning shift, Camilla Tominey doing the Sundays, Michelle Dewberry in the weeknights, Nana Akua doing the weekend afternoons, and Bev Turner back in the UK after her sojourn to the US. Anything more than that becomes indistinct, and I’d rather be honest with you about that than pass on an old list.
