Isabel Webster GB News Career

Isabel Webster GB News Career

Isabel Webster started in journalism on the radio. Major profiles say she worked across local, regional, and national BBC News before moving into TV. This phase helped her build the basics that matter in live news, like breaking news scripting, quick live updates, and interviewing under pressure.

First big TV step: joining Sky News in 2011

In 2011, she joined Sky News as the West of England correspondent. In this role, she was on the ground for developing stories and filed live reports for the main channel. 

Coverage credited to her in public profiles includes major cases and national news stories, such as flooding, the Ian Watkins trial, the Vincent Tabak trial, and the horsemeat scandal.

This job is also where she built a wider profile, because regional correspondent stories often feed into national rolling coverage, especially when a story runs for days.

Moving to the national presenting team in 2012

By 2012, she was working with the national Sky News team. This was a shift from mainly reporting as a correspondent to taking on more studio-based work, including live presenting shifts. 

It is also the point where many presenters start rotating across formats, such as daytime rolling coverage and breaking news.

Breakfast TV: Sky News Sunrise (2014-2017)

Webster became a bigger on-screen name when she joined Sky News Sunrise in March 2014, replacing Charlotte Hawkins. Her first episode was broadcast on March 10, 2014.

At first, she mainly presented weekday editions, then moved into a Friday-to-Sunday pattern later on. Sunrise is a demanding slot because it mixes hard news, politics, business headlines, sport, weather, and live guests at high speed. 

It is also a show where presenters often need to switch tone quickly, from serious breaking updates to lighter interviews, while still keeping clear news priorities.

She co-presented Sunrise alongside Stephen Dixon until December 2017.

Later Sky News work: wider anchor shifts (2017-2021)

After leaving Sunrise in December 2017, she stayed with Sky News and continued presenting on other slots and cover shifts.

Later, she announced she had left Sky News on May 24, 2021, after roughly a decade with the network.

Joining GB News: new channel, new format (2021)

Webster joined GB News in June 2021. Early on, she fronted a weekly news review-style show, then became part of the channel’s wider presenting team.

GB News is built around longer studio chats and opinion-led discussion mixed with headlines, which is a different pacing from rolling news. 

That shift meant adapting from fast headline delivery to longer interviews, panel debates, and extended segments.

GB News Breakfast: co-host role with Eamonn Holmes (Till December 2024)

Webster later became a key face of GB News Breakfast, co-hosting alongside Eamonn Holmes. This role made her one of the channel’s most visible weekday presenters, with a routine built around early starts, live interviews, political discussion, and reacting to breaking stories as they develop.

In December 2024, it was announced that she would be leaving GB News as part of schedule changes going into 2025.
