presenter Patrick Christys has pulled out of his 9pm show at the last minute and confirmed that Ben Leo will replace him.
The 32-year-old, from Cheshire, explained that other commitments mean he has to travel to the north of the country and will be unable to film the show.
He confirmed that he will be back on screens on Friday.
He wrote on on Thursday afternoon (December 19): “Hi everyone, just a little note from me to say unfortunately I won’t be hosting 9-11pm @GBNEWS tonight – I’ve had to nip back up north to help out with something.
“I think the great Ben Leo is covering so please do tune in, he’ll have a brilliant show for you. See you tomorrow!”
