Ellie Costello admitted that she felt like she was ‘going to cry’ as she shared some personal news

A star of GB News admitted that she was close to tears as she shared a personal update live on air. Ellie Costello was back in her usual presenting seat, next to co-star Chris Hope, after a leave of absence for a very special reason.

Discussing the day’s headlines, Ellie pointed out that Chris had spotted a story about her in the newspapers as her wedding pictures had been published. Ellie replied: “Yeah, the wedding pictures have come out and I am so happy with them.” She was then feeling overcome with emotion as she added: “It’s going to make me cry!” Sharing more about her special day, the news presenter added: “So that was three weeks ago this weekend. So we got married in France.” Images then popped up on the screen showing her in a beautiful white gown as she shared a kiss with her new husband, Gerard Durkan.

Ellie then shared some details about the day, including that her cake was made by a close friend and that her co-star Stephen Dixon flew out to enjoy the celebrations with the newlyweds. She said: “Stephen flew all the way out. It was so nice to have him there.”

In the run-up to the big day, Ellie and Stephen were both absent from GB News. Standing in for them, Dawn Neesom explained: “Yeah, because Ellie is off getting married this weekend.

She is getting married tomorrow in the South of France and of course Stephen has gone with her, to hold her hand, in their matching outfits.” The presenter then quipped: “Stephen is possibly in a white dress, who knows?”

The stand-in presenter then explained that it was Ellie’s “official, big wedding” after her co-star got “legally married” back in April. Dawn shared: “It’s her big wedding tomorrow and she is going to make a beautiful bride!”

Ellie, 31, originally tied the knot with her fiancé Gerard Durkan in an intimate London ceremony back in April. Her co-stars weren’t at Chelsea Old Town Hall, with invites being reserved for close friends and family.

At the time, her colleague Eamonn Holmes commented: “Notice she wore a short dress, I’d have never thought of that. But then she’s going to do it all again in the summer and it’ll be a big affair and a big party in the sunshine. It’s excellent news.”
