Nigel Farage issues GB News statement after brutal mass exits
Nigel Farage issued a lengthy statement on GB News as he reflected on the past year.
The Reform Party leader, 60, hosted a Christmas special on GB News, days after it was announced that a number of presenters had been axed from the channel.
Mr Farage began at the beginning of the year, which came shortly after he had starred in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Branding it "quite an experience", the politician admitted he was pleased that he signed up for the show.

The MP revealed the most important moment of his year was when his two grandsons, Harrison and Sebastian, were born. After Rishi Sunak announced there would be another general election, Farage decided it was time for him to get back into politics.

Mr Farage reflected on 2024 (Image: Getty)"Well, I took the plunge on the third of June, and I did it, and I did it to the soundtrack of Eminem. I really shouldn't be so understated, should I?" he said.
Mr Farage continued: "I was also really thrilled for the second year in a row to get TV News Presenter of the Year from the TRIC awards, something that is voted for by the great British public, not chosen by the industry, because I wouldn't have had a chance with them.
He went on to mention how GB News has grown over the last year and couldn't resist pointing out how they are "ahead of the woke Sky News," which he claimed has become "unwatchable".
Mr Farage declared: "We don't believe in censorship. We believe we need to hear all these arguments, and we also believe that the audience at home are big enough and ugly enough to make up their own minds. And I think the success of GB News really is a revolution in broadcasting in this country."
The dad-of-two was presenting live from Maidstone, revealing almost 500 people had turned up to join him.

"This is a broadcasting phenomenon, and I honestly believe that GB News has only just begun, I really do," he said.
Mr Farage later referenced his "shout out" from Donald Trump during the US election.
He quipped: "What an honour it was to be in Mar-a-Lago in the ballroom on November the fifth, the next day after that, as the results came in, no press, no cameras, just Trump his family, his friends, his backers, the members of Mar-a-Lago, for what, whether you like him or not, was a truly historic victory that I think will change the world."
Mr Farage branded 2024 as "remarkable", adding: "There's no doubt you think about life and what really matters that the birth of two grandsons actually is more important than being in Parliament and many other things."
He concluded: "And I think perhaps sometimes in the modern world, we're also rushed in what we're doing. We lose sense of our priorities."
