GB News presenter halts show to make huge co-star announcement after farewell to fans

GB News presenter Bev Turner brought her show to a halt today as she made a huge announcement about one of her co-stars.

She announced: "I want to start off by telling you this hour about some brilliant news, our very own political correspondent Olivia Utley has just posted this.

"She says: 'Introducing our wonderful little son, Wilfred George Dunnett-Stone (Wilfie), born yesterday morning weighing 7lb2oz. We are totally over the moon and very excited for our first Christmas as a family.'

"Look at him, he is gorgeous! Wilfred George Dunnett-Stone, fantastic, huge congratulations from us here on Britain's Newsroom to Olivia and her hubby. Well done, amazing, and you get to put your feet up now for Christmas., which is a brilliant excuse to do so."

Viewers of the show quickly rushed to the channel's X account to share their congratulations to Olivia and her husband.

One said: "Well done Olivia, little George must be so proud to have the best political reporter on GBNews as his mum."

Another added: "Ahh, bless. Wonderful. Congratulations." A third chimed in: "Awwww that's excellent news, congratulations Oliva and Co. Glad it all went well, Merry Christmas."

A fourth said: "My what a little honey", as a fifth agreed: "Whatever time of year the birth of a child is astonishing."

Olivia announced her temporary exit from the show last week, as she said goodbye to Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello, as well as viewers at home.

She told the pair that she was due on Christmas Day, although Ellie told her she hoped the baby would arrive before then in a spooky premonition.

Ellie quipped: "I hope he or she is here before Christmas because it will be the best Christmas present."

Olivia also said goodbye to Dawn Neesom, who told her: "You are going to be a wonderful mum. We can't wait to find out all the news from you."

Olivia announced that she would be returning to GB News in September.
