BORIS JOHNSON JOINS GB NEWS AS PRESENTER AND CONTRIBUTOR

Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson is joining GB News as a "presenter, programme maker and commentator".

GB News say he will play a 'key role' in their coverage of both the UK general election and the US elections next year, and present a new series "showcasing the power of Britain around the world, as well as hosting the occasional special in front of live audiences around the UK".

Boris Johnson said :"GB News is an insurgent channel with a loyal and growing following. I am excited to say I will be joining shortly - and offering my frank opinions on world affairs." GB News Editorial Director Michael Booker said: "I’m delighted to say, GB News has got Boris ‘done’! We are tremendously proud to have him join the GB News family, particularly as we head into a seismic year of politics both here and across the Atlantic...

"Boris has been the most influential Prime Minister of our generation, and his unique insight into domestic and world affairs will be a smash hit with our viewers and listeners. As well as his political skills, he’s an incredibly talented journalist and author, so we can’t wait to start working with him on what will be must-see TV."

GB News is available on Sky channel 512.
