Fresh off being wrapped on the knuckles by UK regulators, this morning Gb News saw a pair of its presenters angrily clash over the sexual assault allegations surrounding Russell Brand.
In a video posted online by the network, Andrew Pierce and Bev Turner exchange furious words on the Britain’s Newsroom program as they expressed opinions on the allegations from a joint Channel 4 Dispatches, Times and Sunday Times investigation that presenter and actor Brand had committed several sexual offenses against four women. Brand denies the allegations. Watch the video below.
In the heated exchange, Pierce takes co-presenter Turner to task over a message sent on Saturday morning on X (see it below) supporting Brand, calling him a “hero.”
The message — released before the newspaper report and Channel 4 program but after Brand released a pre-emptive statement denying the allegations — claimed he was “being attacked” and Turner said that the Forgetting Sarah Marshall...

In the days this week before the UK suffered through all-time record temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius — or 104 degrees Fahrenheit — Gb News host Bev Turner made light of a meteorologist’s warnings about the coming heatwave in a televised interview that bears a striking resemblance to the much talked-about fictional TV interview in Adam McKay’s Oscar-nominated film Don’t Look Up. In fact, one intrepid Twitter user cut the two scenes together, prompting McKay himself to weigh in. See below.
In the Gb News interview last week, British meteorologist John Hammond warns that, while last week it was a near-perfect 20 degrees Celsius — or 68 degrees Fahrenheit — “By early next week you can scratch 20 degrees. It could very well be 40 degrees. I think there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of excess deaths next week. The charts that I can see in front of me are frightening.”
After he makes a few more grim points,...

It's unclear whether Kate Middleton will breast-feed after the royal baby is born. But one British TV presenter has some pretty strong feelings about the subject. In an outspoken piece penned for the Telegraph, Beverley Turner implores the Duchess of Cambridge to breast-feed her newborn in an effort to inspire other women to do so after new statistics show breast-feeding figures have fallen for the first time in England in almost a decade. Turner begins by delving into her own struggle with breast-feeding and says there's now a stigma attached to the practice—one she hopes Kate can eliminate by example. "We also need women with power and influence to get...

James Cracknell and his wife Bev Turner have opened up about his near-fatal bike accident in 2010 that pushed their family to breaking point. The Olympian-turned-tv star suffered severe frontal lobe damage after being hit by a truck during an endurance challenge in America, resulting in memory loss, a lack of empathy and a major personality change. Speaking about Touching Distance, the book he has written with his wife in which the couple each speak frankly about the lasting effects of the accident, Cracknell said: "The thing I really think has made the book better is that we didn't read each other's words until the end. "I'm quite glad [of that], it would have chipped away at my confidence because hers is much better than mine." (more)...

Olympic rower-turned-tv star James Cracknell has opened up about the devastating impact of his near-fatal road accident last year, revealing he is unable to be left alone with his children because of his injuries.
The gold medallist was filming a cycling programme for the Discovery Channel in the U.S. last July when he was knocked off his bike by a truck in Arizona.
He was treated for a fractured skull as well as bleeding and swelling on the brain, but made a good recovery.
Cracknell now suffers problems with concentration, memory and his temper, and reveals he has been advised not to be alone with his two young children, seven-year-old son Croyde and two-year-old daughter Kiki, in case he accidentally leaves them in harm's way.
He tells Britain's Radio Times, "I feel a bit useless. I can't help out."
Cracknell also admits his injuries have affected his relationship with his TV presenter wife Beverley Turner, who is currently pregnant with the couple's third child.
He adds, "I regret that the injury has had such an impact on everyone. Bev and I talk about nothing else, which takes the fun out of our relationship. It must be hard for her.
"I would say that if we didn't have kids we would have broken up. Aside from the fact that Bev is upset by the changes she sees in me, which I can't see in myself, my condition is constantly on our minds. You can never get away from it, and that's been really hard."...

British Olympic hero James Cracknell has suffered severe memory loss since cheating death in a bike accident in July but he still has something to celebrate - his wife is expecting their third child.
The rowing ace was filming a cycling programme for the Discovery Channel in the U.S. when he was hit by a truck in Arizona.
He has revealed the accident jolted his brain and he now suffers problems with concentration, memory and his temper - but Cracknell's recuperation was boosted with some good news when his wife Beverley Turner discovered she is pregnant.
The gold medal-winning sportsman tells Britain's Daily Telegraph, "When the truck's wing mirror hit me on the back of the head some of the impact was absorbed by my helmet... Although I was very disorientated and agitated for some time, just knowing I'd been hit by a truck made me feel lucky to be alive...
"There is a crucial window of three weeks from the accident to regaining consistent memory. Within that window a full recovery is on the cards; outside of that and there are no guarantees. I have 'islands of memory' but no consistency, so there are no guarantees. I can't drive and will have to be reassessed.
"I can't drink for between six months and a year as the neurons in my brain rejoin. I will never be able to work at the same pace as before or be able to grasp complex theories. Although to be honest I've always tended to steer clear of the latter."
But Cracknell is adamant he will make a full recovery to be at his wife's side when she gives birth.
He adds, "I'm so proud of her and our unborn child for the way they have looked after each other and I'm determined to make sure I make a full recovery to be there for (my family)."...
