Bev Turner has delivered the inside scoop on Donald Trump's UK press conference that took place yesterday.
Speaking to the channel, Bev detailed the intense atmosphere inside the wood-panelled room at Chequers, complete with two lecterns, an enormous fireplace, and two world leaders ready to address the press.
Bev explained: "It felt, frankly, a little terrifying in the moment. Sir Keir Starmer’s team were clearly in control; they curated the press, taking ITV, The Sun, and Sky, and even spoke to someone from The Economist, which seemed a little odd.
"Then it was Mr Trump’s turn, and of course, he came to GB News first. Our viewers are very interested in what he has to say."

Before the press conference, leaders met at the UK Prime Minister’s Chequers residence to announce a major technology and prosperity pact between the two nations.
They then discussed the plans with reporters, and when Mr Trump was asked to call on a reporter to ask a question, he went straight to Bev.
Discussing that moment, Bev said: "It felt, frankly, a little terrifying at the moment. In the moment, I can't lie."
She added: "It was very much on Sir Keir Starmer's terms when I met these two previously. If you remember, that was in Scotland and that was in Donald Trump's golf course.
"It was a very different power dynamic. Yesterday, Sir Keir's team were in charge, and they wanted to keep that press conference under their control.
"In fact, the Mr Trump team said it reminded them of a Joe Biden press conference where he would curate the people that he wanted to talk to."

"Does that not remain an important area where there’s still a lot of disagreement?"
Keir Starmer responded: "Free speech, that has long lived in this country.
"It’s one of the founding values of the United Kingdom, and we protect it jealously and fiercely, and always will.
"We will bear down on any limits on free speech.
"But I do draw a line between free speech and those who use speech to peddle paedophilia, or to promote suicide content to children.
"So yes, I’m all for free speech, but I’m also for protecting children from things that will cause them harm from paedophiles, and from those encouraging suicide, which has had terrible consequences for individuals, particularly teenagers.
"That’s the balance we have to strike. But we’ve had freedom of speech in this country for a very long time, and we will always protect it."
