First airing of interview at Florida resort watched by 1.3% of British viewers but numbers overtook those for BBC and Sky news channels
Nigel Farage’s interview with Donald Trump on Wednesday substantially boosted GB News’ audience figures, the right-wing 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.
