GB News is celebrating another milestone in its huge digital growth - by securing ONE MILLION followers on Instagram.
The People’s Channel smashed through the landmark number as viewers and listeners continued to join the home of free speech.
It means GB News now has 8.5 million followers across social media - making it one of the fastest-growing media brands in British history - just four years after its launch.
Chief Content Officer Geoff Marsh said the achievement was down to the channel’s bold journalism and award-winning shows and stories.
He said: "To hit one million followers on Insta so quickly is phenomenal. This success shows we are a truly multi-platform channel, which is growing faster than ever.
"Instagram Reels are a brilliant way for people to quickly and easily consume the best moments from GB News, whenever they want and wherever they are.
"Our growth on Insta, as well as TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, X, Truth Social and Threads shows people love the quality and fearlessness of our journalism."
These huge numbers are a massive credit to the team and everybody who works so hard every day to deliver the stories Britain is talking about."

News of the Instagram success comes as the clock ticks down to the channel’s US launch.
Next week, The Late Show Live will begin broadcasting from the channel’s new studio in Washington DC.
The programme will be presented on Mondays to Thursdays by Bev Turner, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday by Ben Leo.
The two-hour show will deliver 14 hours of additional coverage to GB News viewers and listeners every week.
Earlier this month, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt welcomed GB News's arrival in the United States of America.
Speaking at a launch party in the US capital, she said: "GB News is going to be bringing a lot more common sense to the great people of the United Kingdom.
"You share the values we hold dear. I really look forward to continuing to work with the team at GB News."
