The 72-year-old broadcaster has decided to walk away from the roles, just three months after helping to launch the TV channel.
Andrew said in a statement: "Over the summer I've had time to reflect on my extensive portfolio of interests and decided it was time to cut back."
The veteran presenter actually appeared on the channel for less than two weeks before announcing he was taking a break during the summer.
However, Andrew has pledged to continue to contribute to GB News as a guest commentator.
He added: "I wish GB News well in continuing to fulfil its founding promise and mission to reach audiences currently underserved by existing news broadcasters."
A statement from GB News said: "Andrew is without doubt one of the finest journalists and interviewers in this country.
"GB News thanks him for his 12 months of leadership, wisdom and advice, and we wish him well."
In June, Andrew announced he was taking a break from GB News.
The broadcaster revealed he was taking a step back for a "few weeks", admitting it had been a "rocky start" for the channel.
Andrew - who launched GB News on June 13 - said as he closed his show: "That’s it for tonight and from me for the next few weeks.
"But I leave you in the safe and professional hands of Colin Brazier."
Andrew insisted at the time that he wouldn't be off the channel for too long.
He said: "I’ll be back before the summer is out and when you least expect it, so stay tuned."
