I’m sure the reaction on Twitter to Simon joining GB News is full of reasoned, considered takes and not at all people overreacting or getting hysterical at each other.

I just looked, and then closed Twitter...

I know some of GBN’s hirings aren’t to everyone’s taste, including yours truly, but I think it’s only fair to reserve judgment until the channel is actually on the air, Simon McCoy included.

Well there goes his legacy.


You appear to know an awful lot about a channel that’s yet to air any output.

I hope Simon McCoy’s GB News show is just as witty and disdainful of light news stories as Afternoon Live

Maybe he has untaken holiday/TOIL. Maybe he is retiring, (he's 60 in October according to WiKi) Maybe he's just had enough of telly.

His wife/partner is a BBC presenter in Plymouth so maybe that's a factor too

They separated he is now is a relationship with emma samms


In case it hasn’t sunk in yet, that’s THE Emma Samms who was the second Fallon off Dynasty...
