GB News presenter Ellie Costello has officially tied the knot with her partner Gerard Durkan in a beautiful ceremony held in London. The wedding took place at Chelsea Old Town Hall on Saturday afternoon, April 12, 2025, where the couple exchanged vows in front of close family and friends.
Costello, 31, dazzled in a long-sleeved, buttoned white mini dress, complemented by a beaded headband and an elegant all-white bouquet. As they exited the historical venue, the couple was met with a joyful shower of confetti from their loved ones, marking the beginning of their new life together.
On Sunday, April 13, during the GB News Breakfast show, presenters Cameron Walker and Anne Diamond shared the exciting news with viewers. "We've got a new married couple!" Walker announced, revealing the couple's recent nuptials. A snapshot of Ellie and Gerard leaving Chelsea Town Hall appeared on screen, capturing the couple's happiness just moments after they became husband and wife.
Anne Diamond noted the significance of the location, stating, "a lot of very famous people have got married in [Chelsea Town Hall]." She praised the venue's picturesque steps, which made for a perfect photograph. "Well done, Ellie. Congratulations to both of you," she added.
Ellie Costello first announced her engagement to Gerard in November 2023 through a heartfelt social media post, showcasing her stunning engagement ring. "There’s so little good news in the world right now… I hope you don’t mind me sharing some of my own. I said YES," she wrote, sharing her joy with her followers.
The couple's wedding was a small and intimate affair, with notable absences from some of Costello's colleagues, including Eamonn Holmes, who co-hosts the GB News Breakfast show with her. Holmes had previously praised Costello, describing her as "fresh, bright and different," since she joined the channel in December 2024, taking over from Isabel Webster.
Costello and Holmes had also discussed her impending wedding on-air during the GB News Breakfast show on Friday, April 11, just a day before the ceremony. During the show, the topic of a trending phenomenon in the UK—where people are reportedly ditching their winter partners for more attractive ones as summer approaches—came up. Costello humorously quipped, "I hope not! I'm getting married tomorrow!" Her playful response highlighted her excitement about the wedding and her disconnection from the trend.
As the couple embarks on their new journey together, plans for a celebration in France have been hinted at. Costello mentioned that after signing the necessary documentation in the UK, they would head to France for a party, playfully noting, "the French don't like the Brits."
Ellie Costello's rise to prominence began during her time at the BBC, where she worked at the BBC World Service and later moved to the Victoria Derbyshire programme. Her transition to GB News has seen her become a familiar face on the weekend breakfast show alongside Stephen Dixon, further solidifying her presence in the broadcasting industry.
As the weekend unfolded, fans and colleagues alike took to social media to congratulate the newlyweds. Messages of love and support flooded in, celebrating their union and wishing them a lifetime of happiness together. One follower remarked, "Congratulations to you both, stunning ring!" while another added, "He’s a lucky fella!"
Costello's wedding marks a significant personal milestone, and as she continues her career in broadcasting, her fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for her both professionally and personally. With her infectious energy and engaging personality, Ellie Costello is sure to remain a beloved figure on GB News.
As the couple begins their married life together, the joy of their wedding day will undoubtedly be a cherished memory, one that they will carry forward as they navigate their journey as husband and wife.
