First airing of interview at
Florida resort watched by only 1.3% of
British viewers at that hour, but numbers surpassed those for
BBC and Sky news
Nigel Farage’s interview with
Donald Trump on Wednesday substantially boosted the audience figures for GB News, the rightwing news channel that is increasingly reliant on fans of the former Ukip leader to bring in viewers.
Approximately 190,000 people tuned in during the evening to watch the former US president repeat baseless claims that the 2020 presidential
election was stolen and to criticise the
Duchess of Sussex. The audience was double the number normally watching Farage’s show at that time.
