A shocking GB News investigation live from Calais has sparked a bitter on-air migrant row, as political commentator Alex Armstrong claimed that the French city has become a "third world country".
In an exclusive exposé, GB News presenter Patrick Christys travelled to Calais to investigate the migrant crisis firsthand, revealing the stark reality behind Channel crossings.
During his 24 hours on the French front line, Patrick spoke with migrants who openly expressed expectations that British people would provide for their needs upon arrival.
One migrant told Patrick: "I think in England they can help me with anything, maybe."

Expressing his disgust at the brazen revelations made by migrants, commentator Alex Armstrong claimed that this will become the "future of Britain" if the Labour Government "opens the floodgates".
Armstrong fumed: "You know what I find the most shocking about watching that report is that Calais has turned into a third world country.
"The fact that the French people have allowed this to happen, and this is a sign of things to come if we continue to allow the people who are coming over here en masse into our country and we run out of hotels, we run out of space - because that's what will happen eventually. This is the future for Great Britain."
Hitting back at Armstrong, fellow commentator Andy Williams stated that the migrants are "human beings" and are seeking a "better life" in the UK.

Williams explained: "If there were people out there attacking Patrick and being aggressive towards him, they would be. They weren't. Actually, what we saw is people having a kick-about there - these are human beings.
"Now, I'm not saying that we should just open the floodgates and allow everyone into Britain, but you saw a man there who said, 'all I want is a good life and a safe life and a good home'. I'm not suggesting that we should be the people who pay for that, but that's a noble aim. We have to think about these people as human beings."
Disagreeing with Williams's "nonsense", Armstrong hit back: "If all those people, which Patrick said the vast majority of them are coming here and they are waiting to come here, we don't have enough space for all those thousands of people that are queuing up.
"Where do they go? We're already seeing the tents, I've seen them in Paddington, I can see them down the road from here, I can see them in London - it's happening in Richmond. So to tell me that it's not happening is absolute nonsense."

Offering a defence for the Labour Government, who recently announced their latest migration crackdown, Williams concluded that they have "never lied" about the scale of the illegal migrant crisis, and have been "transparent" with Britons.
Williams told GB News: "I completely, completely reject what Patrick said about the Government - we're here calling out Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer's lies. They have never lied once about the scale of this problem. Never.
"They've always been completely transparent about it. You can agree or disagree about how they've handled it, about whether they've made progress.
"If you look at the small boats numbers, they've not made progress, but they've never lied once about it, and that is completely unfair."
