Speaking to Top Santé 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," the star explained.

The news that Kirsty has no plans to return will come as a blow to her fans, who regularly query on Instagram when she'll be back on their screens.
Eamonn Holmes, who worked alongside Kirsty on GB News, shared a photo of the pair in July, with the post flooded with queries about when Kirsty would be back on their screens.

To recover from her intense fitness sessions, Kirsty likes to use a foam roller, explaining: "As I increase my running, I’ll have to do more stretching or I’ll end up injured."
A foam roller can help with muscle tightness and inflammation, and is an effective tool to use after your workouts.
