GB News presenter Alexander Armstrong has teased who he thinks should replace Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast. Last month, the 51-year-old broadcaster announced she is leaving the morning programme after 17 years at the helm. After the news hit the airwaves, the corporation has insisted it will announce her replacement "in due course."
Armstrong suggests Carole Malone
Now, the rival breakfast presenter has revealed who would be best suited to fill her spot on the signature red sofa. Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk at the National Reality TV Awards, he chuckled: "Get Carole Malone on there; she'd give them a run for their money. She could politicise them."
The 35-year-old presenter went on to highlight the biggest strengths GB News holds as a corporation. He gushed: "But there is no better breakfast show than GB News Breakfast. Don't bother watching them [BBC Breakfast] anymore. We speak for the vast majority of British people, and we have the best breakfast show on the box. What more could you want?"
Criticism of BBC coverage
His co-star Miriam Cates pointed out that the Beeb have failed to cover some of the biggest issues affecting the UK. She argued: "We've been doing the stories that people are actually interested in. Certainly, in the last few months, the BBC have started covering the migrant crisis, but for a couple of years, we've been covering it every day and telling the story about what's going on. But also, it's about how we tell it. We make sure we have real people on, we make sure we tell both sides of the debate and make sure that nobody feels stupid for asking for common sense."
GB News' approach
Mr Armstrong went on to point out one of the fundamental issues with their rival corporation and highlighted how GB News will always be one step ahead with their news coverage. He explained: "We do like our competition, but we talk about the stories that no one else will ever broadcast. We know that people want to know about what's happening in the Channel, but the BBC don't want to touch that. It's an ideological way in the way you view the news, and I think that's what the BBC have been getting so wrong. They're in their little bubble, but we're out in the real world, and we want to give people the truth, even if it's an uncomfortable truth, even if it upsets people sometimes."
