GB News hosts Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner were left outraged as Baroness Louise Casey admitted the grooming gangs national inquiry could take up to "five years" to complete.
Speaking to GB News reporter Charlie Peters, Casey stated that the process of the inquiry is "looking at three to five years".
However, Casey also stressed the urgency of the inquiry and told the People's Channel that we "need to inject some speed into this".
Reacting to the key detail in the process of the inquiry, Britain's Newsroom host Bev simply exclaimed: "Give me strength!"

Cohost Andrew Pierce was equally outraged at Casey's response, telling Charlie: "We're both just groaning out loud here, just no.
"Three to five years? That would mean seven, because everything overruns, anything to do with the Government and the public sector."
Responding to Andrew and Bev, Charlie also highlighted that the predicted time frame also means the inquiry "may not return in a Labour Government".
He explained: "Most crucially, it also means it wouldn't return in this Parliament, which I think is what a lot of people are concerned about. This could be now kicked into the long grass and pushed away from this Parliament."

Delivering his verdict on Casey's report, Charlie stated that the review mainly "confirms what we already know".
He said: "A lot of people are reporting today that Baroness Casey revealed that this crime has got a disproportionate number of Pakistani offenders. That's not just been revealed.
"Reading all 200 pages of this report last night, it's confirmed a lot of what we already know, it's not revealing anything new. And that's the real problem, I think, for the Government and also ministers and shadow ministers of all stripes."
Charlie added: "It shows that this is a national scourge that has been out in the open for years, and they can't say that they're reacting on advice of Baroness Casey. The media, frankly, has been putting this out into the open for a long time."
Charlie told GB News that the authorities and successive Governments have let down 'generations' of victims and survivors

Citing Keir Starmer's previous remarks about grooming gangs in 2014, where he claimed a "generation of girls" were let down by the injustice, Charlie claimed that successive Governments and the authorities have now "let down generations" of victims and survivors.
Charlie concluded: "11 years ago, he said 'we failed a generation of girls'. Unfortunately, they have now failed generations of girls, because this has stretched on for so long.
"This is not confined to just one portion of our history, and we've long said this is possibly the worst race hate scandal since the Second World War in this country.
"But it's never understood in that term because of how uncomfortable people are with engaging with that disproportionality that Baroness Casey was talking about yesterday."
