Michelle Dewberry explains crucial reason she joined GB News in exclusive chat

Thanking GB News members and viewers for their support, she said: "We don't just say this on GB News, we genuinely mean that we appreciate every single one of you.

"We appreciate everything that you do with our channel, whether it's watching, listening, interacting, attending things like this.

"We very much appreciate you joining us as members, and VIP members.

"I just can't underestimate the importance to us that you have. We don't take you for granted.

"We always try our best to be authentic. We try our best to raise the concerns and the opinions and the feelings that you guys have.

"The reason I joined GB News is because I could see I've been in the media for a long time, and I could see that so many perspectives were marginalised within the media. Loads of people that I knew, lots of views that I held - they were never fairly represented in the media.

"GB News was originally founded to give a voice to the unheard, and I try hard to do that, and I know that the rest of the presenters do too.

"And I hope that long may GB News continue. But our viewers, our members, are absolutely essential to what we do.

"So I just want to end [the live online Q&A] by saying thank you, genuinely and sincerely, to each and every one of you. We really appreciate you. Thank you."

The online Q&A with Michelle Dewberry was the third in the series of Meet the Presenters LIVE events.
