Mark Dolan, a well-known presenter, has recently shared some news with his fans. After three years of working at GB News, he has been let go from his position. In a surprise move, he announced that his last show had already aired. On X, the 50-year-old wrote a statement that GB News had decided to permanently relieve him of his duties at the channel. He also mentioned that he would speak more about this situation in the future.
Before this announcement, Dolan had hinted at some upcoming news. On social media, he wrote, "SOME NEWS – I've hosted my last MARK DOLAN TONIGHT on GB News. More to follow..." and later provided more details in another post. Dolan had joined the news channel in 2021, leaving his job at talkRADIO. He was the host of Mark Dolan Tonight on Saturday and Sunday evenings. From January, Ben Leo will be taking over the weekend evening slot with his show, Ben Leo Tonight. Leo will also continue to co-host Britain's Newsroom on Fridays.
The news of Dolan's departure was met with disappointment from some people. Former guest Madeline Grant expressed her sadness, writing, "Very sad to hear this Mark. Wishing you all the best – it was always a joy to go on your show xx." Colleague Emily Carver also shared her regrets, saying, "Really sad to hear you're leaving." Even the spoof account Larry the Cat chimed in, saying, "A horrible time of year to lose a job," to which Dolan responded with a kiss face emoji. Viewer Andrew Devine also shared his support, saying, "Another one of my favourite presenters on GB News gone. Good luck in your new endeavors."
When Dolan first joined GB News, just one month after its launch, he promised to keep things interesting. He stated, "My show will tackle the issues that really matter to people across the United Kingdom in a stimulating, informative but entertaining way. My one promise is that it won't be boring." However, now with his departure, it seems that he will not be able to fulfill this promise.
Dolan's exit follows the departure of Andrew Doyle and the dismissal of Eamonn Holmes' co-presenter Isabel Webster. In their place, Ellie Costello will be taking over on GB News Breakfast five days a week. She will co-host with Holmes from Monday to Wednesday and with Stephen Dixon on Thursday and Friday. Metro has reached out to GB News for comment on these recent changes.
