GB News host Nana Akua admitted she dozed off while watching the incredible return of Nasa’s Artemis II crew on Earth.

Just after 1am BST, the Orion module separated from the rest of the craft, bringing the four astronauts back to Earth successfully after their historic journey around the Moon.

However, the late hour of the splashdown proved too late for the GB News star, who revealed she had tuned in “more concerned than intrigued” for the astronauts' safety.

“I can't watch, but I must… I did stay up for that very reason… but I didn't, I fell asleep,” Nana confessed.

Joining her on the show, researcher Maggie Liu celebrated the moment, despite also being nervous about the mission's final stage.

“It was worrying, but we were all watching our screens. We were all following along for once. We weren't divided. The whole world was staring at the same screen,” she said.
