Kirsty Gallacher disappointed GB News fans when she left the news station in December 2021. Now, the 49-year-old broadcaster has revealed the real reason behind her departure.

Speaking to Top Sante magazine, Kirsty shared: “I left GB News mainly for health reasons. I was presenting the breakfast show with Simon McCoy. I’d found out last autumn that I had an acoustic neuroma in my right ear, which is a small, benign tumour that causes low-level tinnitus. It often deprives me of good-quality sleep, so getting up early to do breakfast shows took too much of a toll on my health,” she explained.

In the interview, the presenter spoke in detail about her health and fitness regime, sharing how she enjoys a mixture of cardio fitness and weights.

Despite not returning to GB News, the broadcaster returned to the airwaves in January when she took on a presenting gig on Gold Radio Drive alongside celebrity chef Simon Rimmer. It comes after Kirsty opened up on her potential future marriage plans with her boyfriend Darren Clayton.

The TV star and the ex-rugby player, 38, have been together for around a year and five months after they met through their two mutual friends – Gabby and Kenny Logan.

It’s no secret how smitten Kirsty is in love with Darren, who is a successful businessman as well as an impressive athlete, after they first spoke to each other while attending a fundraising event.

In October, they two love birds looked every inch the perfect couple as they marked their first anniversary together with a lavish dinner of champagne and oysters at Langan’s Brasserie in London.

Now, as they look ahead to the future, Kirsty has admitted that although she never thought she would tie the knot again following her split from Paul Sampson, she revealed she could be walking down the aisle again in the future.

The former GB News host told The Sun: “We do talk about getting married. Funnily, he’s much more into the idea of marriage than I am. I’m very much like, ‘Do we need that?’ For him, it’s very important to actually have that union and [be able to] say it.

"And I said, ‘Well, we can say it. Do we have to do the marriage?’ I think an engagement is wonderfully romantic and that would do for me. That would be enough, because it’s the whole, ‘I want to be with you forever’.”
