GB News star Nana Akua has had an incredible career in front of the camera. Nana started out in radio, presenting everything from Kiss 100 to Capital, before she joined TV shopping channels. From there she appeared as a panellist on ITV ’s Good Morning Britain and Jeremy Vine ’s Channel 5 show - and then signed up to the BBC as a continuity announcer and worked on Panorama.
But in 2021, Nana decided to leave the BBC behind to join GB News, admitting: “I used to work for the BBC . They used to train me in many ways and I'm very grateful for that. But after I got my training I worked for them in total for 13 years.
I left because I couldn't say anything, really. “I wanted to question climate change and I couldn't because I knew I'd be out of a job if I did and I do not support Black Lives Matter at all. "I thought they were a far-left Marxist pressure group and when my boss at the BBC asked me to promote an event Black Lives Matter was having I sent an email saying I don't think you can do.
” She added: “I left shortly after that. And thank God GB News was there. I wrote to GB News and said give me a job.
They hadn't started but I knew what they were about and I was ready, I wanted to speak my mind." But what about Nana’s life off-screen? Away from the cameras, Nana has two children – a son and a daughter. Motherhood hasn’t been easy, however, as her son Ivory was diagnosed with cerebral palsy.
Nana admitted she attended an abortion clinic but had her mind chan.
