Mark Dolan and Dan Wootton recently found themselves at odds with each other after Dolan's surprising removal from GB News. Dolan, a former presenter for the network, strongly denied Wootton's allegations that he had been thrown under the bus following his sudden sacking. Taking to YouTube, Dolan set the record straight and addressed the situation with his followers.
Dolan had announced on X that GB News had decided to permanently relieve him of his duties and that he had already presented his final show. This came as a shock to many, as Dolan had been with the network for three years. Soon after the news broke, Wootton, who had been axed from the channel last year, released a video criticizing Dolan and his replacement on GB News.
In his video, Wootton stated, "I’m not someone that likes to dance on someone else’s grave...but it’s only fair of me to present both sides of the picture." He went on to say that people were blaming Dolan for giving in to management and throwing his colleagues under the bus. However, Dolan responded to Wootton's comments in a ten-minute monologue on his new channel, The Mark Dolan Show.
Dolan began by thanking Wootton for getting him to GB News in the first place and acknowledged him as one of Britain's foremost journalists. He then expressed his disappointment with how things had turned out between them. Dolan clarified that as a contracted employee, he didn't have much choice in the matter and had to present the show when asked by the boss. He also made it clear that Wootton's absence and departure were not his decision and beyond his control, calling it a huge loss.
Addressing Wootton's recent comments, Dolan concluded, "Blaming me is like blaming the pedestrian watching a car crash unfold...I was doing my job and, as always, I said what I thought at the time. Let me be clear, I am nobody's b***h but if I am, well, then the b***h is back." He also revealed that he had been fired from his GB News role and threatened to name and shame industry stooges in the future.
Dolan then announced his new channel, The Mark Dolan Show, which he described as unshackled, uncensored, unapologetic, and unlimited, without the censorship of Ofcom. He praised his time at GB News as only positive and thanked the network's bold and brilliant management and his production team for their hard work.
Dolan's departure was not the only one from GB News, as his colleague Isabel Webster, who co-hosted the Breakfast show with Eamonn Holmes, also left. She will be replaced by Ellie Costello and Stephen Dixon. Holmes, who had a short stint on the show, wrote a sweet message to Webster, saying, "Bye my girl X."
