Patrick Christys: From Local Reporter to GB News Powerhouse and New Father

Rising Star in British Media

Patrick Michael Christys, born on 15 January 1992, is a British journalist and presenter who currently hosts ‘Patrick Christys Tonight’ on GB News. His journey began as a local reporter in Cumbria at the Westmorland Gazette, where he experienced the foundations of old-school local journalism, covering everything from murder trials to sheepdog trials.

Career Progression and Current Role

Christys joined GB News in August 2021, initially co-presenting ‘To the Point’ with Mercy Muroki. In a significant career move in November 2023, he took over the weekday 9 pm Tonight programme. His current show features spirited debate and news-making interviews, with top guests tackling pressing issues.

Personal Milestones and Recent Developments

In a notable personal development, Christys married fellow GB News presenter Emily Carver in 2024, and the couple welcomed their son George Alexander Peter at 5:26am on 5 September 2025. Beyond his primary role at GB News, Christys has appeared as a political commentator on BBC’s Politics Live and Sky News. In June 2023, he demonstrated his commitment to social causes by performing with the Dreamboys to raise awareness of men’s mental health, successfully generating over £110,000 in donations.

Recent Investigative Work

Christys has recently gained attention for his investigative journalism, particularly his work on migration issues. His recent exposé involved confronting suspected smugglers and migrants on the French coast, revealing that many individuals involved in these operations are aggressive young men engaged in criminal enterprises, rather than vulnerable asylum seekers. His revelations have sparked significant public reaction, with communities across Britain expressing mounting frustration about illegal migration and its impact on local areas.
