GB News brought the morning show to an unexpected halt as it was revealed that Meghan Markle has reportedly made contact with her ailing father, Thomas Markle, following his health battle. During Wednesday's breakfast show (December 10), Ellie Costello interrupted the normal morning schedule to issue a major update on the Duchess of Sussex's relationship with her estranged father.

Their reconnection comes after the 81-year-old had to have his leg amputated below the knee last week. It took place at a hospital in Cebu, Philippines, where he relocated to in January of this year. Now, following a week of no contact with his daughter, the corporation has revealed that Thomas Markle has since received a letter from the mum-of-two.
