Their outing comes after Eamon temporarily stepped down from his role as GB News co-host after being treated in hospital for his back pain.
The news anchor has suffered from longstanding difficulties and previously opened up about his battle with chronic back pain after a dislocated pelvis led to three herniated discs.
Former Sky News presenter Eamonn had GB News viewers asking where he was this week when he was off screen. The journalist took to Twitter earlier this month to clarify things, writing: “Many of you have asked why I haven’t presented to GB News in the last week.

“Unfortunately, I had to undergo unexpected hospital treatment due to a recurrence of a long-term back condition and am now taking a short break to follow the doctor’s orders.
“But I’m looking forward to getting back together with Isabel, my breakfast co-host and friend, next week.
“Although I only joined GB News six months ago, the whole team and our amazing audience have shown me immense support which is very much appreciated.

“I just need some time with my family right now to heal and recover.”
Eamonn sees a physical therapist every day, does exercises and also visits a masseuse. In March, he was spotted using a walking stick at an event at the Bafta headquarters in London.
He recently revealed that using swear words is helping him deal with the agony.

Holmes wrote in Best magazine: “Swearing has got a bad reputation – which I don’t think it deserves.
“I have to be honest, I like a curse or two or three… it makes me feel better. How can anyone deal with pain without cursing?’
He explained: “I’ve been in a lot of pain over the last five or six years, so my rant is overflowing. I’m not saying it’s better than some painkillers, but it certainly has an initial short, sharp effect.’
He conceded, “I accept that listening to someone swear isn’t always the nicest experience, especially when it’s in front of kids…but it doesn’t feel half as good when those swear words are flying!”
Eamonn also pointed to scientific studies to back his use of swearing, claiming it can help people deal with frustrating situations.
He added, “Studies have shown that swearing can be really liberating when we’re feeling overwhelmed with frustration.
“Saying the F-word or something like that can have an immediate calming effect. Pain is a good example.”
